Easy method to attach file to email?

[hstraf]

Is there a quick and simple method/function to attach a file to an email using the mail() function?

Or do I need to go through the "manual" process of reading/encoding and then build the msg body, etc..?

For example, something like the "attach_file" function below would be perfect:

$file = "/my/file.txt";
$msg = "My message here.";
$msg = attach_file($file,$msg);
mail($to,$sub,$msg,$headers);

Why dont you write a php class for it?

$mailObj = new AdvMail();
$mailObj->setTo("xxx@oppss.com");
.
.
$mailObj->attachFile(fieldName);
$mailObj->sendMail(); 

You will set the header in attachFile() function.
Check out the article about sending mails in PHP on sitepoint.com ( you probably did already ).

Good luck
