hi guys…
i am using php to send mail with 4 attachements from my local Computer… and everything is working fine…
but when i saved the mail in database the attachements will not be saved… so
1- how to save attachment in my database… to let the user send the saved mail with its attachment (like saving draft in outlook, hotmail…)
also
2- i want to know how i can make the user browse his server while pressing on “browse” to send the file that exists on server as attachement coz the files are uploaded in it’s server.
I would recomend saving the attachments in a separate directory on the server and storing the path to the attachment in the database.
I wouldn’t recommend letting users browse actual directories on the server. Imho a better option is to present them with a form in the browser listing all their uploaded attachments. The listing could include a small button/icon that when clicked opens up the attachment in their browser or a new window for them to preview it.
also i have another idea… i can save file name of the file uploadded in database and select this file form the folder uploaded in… and then send it in my mail as attachemnt
example:
filename1.pdf “send as attachement”
filename2.jpg “send as attachement”
so when i choose the files using checkboxes i can send them… but i dont know how to send a file that exits on server as attachement in my mail without browsing???/
