[php] Send attachments with PHP Mail()?

I need to send a pdf with mail, is it possible?

$to = "xxx";
$subject = "Subject" ;
$message = 'Example message with <b>html</b>';
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: xxx <xxx>' . "\r\n";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

What am I missing?

This question is related to php

The answer is


This works for me. It also attaches multiple attachments too. easily

<?php

if ($_POST && isset($_FILES['file'])) {
    $recipient_email = "[email protected]"; //recepient
    $from_email = "info@your_domain.com"; //from email using site domain.
    $subject = "Attachment email from your website!"; //email subject line

    $sender_name = filter_var($_POST["s_name"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture sender name
    $sender_email = filter_var($_POST["s_email"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture sender email
    $sender_message = filter_var($_POST["s_message"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture message
    $attachments = $_FILES['file'];

    //php validation
    if (strlen($sender_name) < 4) {
        die('Name is too short or empty');
    }
    if (!filter_var($sender_email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
        die('Invalid email');
    }
    if (strlen($sender_message) < 4) {
        die('Too short message! Please enter something');
    }

    $file_count = count($attachments['name']); //count total files attached
    $boundary = md5("specialToken$4332"); // boundary token to be used

    if ($file_count > 0) { //if attachment exists
        //header
        $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
        $headers .= "From:" . $from_email . "\r\n";
        $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $sender_email . "" . "\r\n";
        $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary = $boundary\r\n\r\n";

        //message text
        $body = "--$boundary\r\n";
        $body .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
        $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
        $body .= chunk_split(base64_encode($sender_message));

        //attachments
        for ($x = 0; $x < $file_count; $x++) {
            if (!empty($attachments['name'][$x])) {

                if ($attachments['error'][$x] > 0) { //exit script and output error if we encounter any
                    $mymsg = array(
                        1 => "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini",
                        2 => "The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form",
                        3 => "The uploaded file was only partially uploaded",
                        4 => "No file was uploaded",
                        6 => "Missing a temporary folder");
                    die($mymsg[$attachments['error'][$x]]);
                }

                //get file info
                $file_name = $attachments['name'][$x];
                $file_size = $attachments['size'][$x];
                $file_type = $attachments['type'][$x];

                //read file 
                $handle = fopen($attachments['tmp_name'][$x], "r");
                $content = fread($handle, $file_size);
                fclose($handle);
                $encoded_content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content)); //split into smaller chunks (RFC 2045)

                $body .= "--$boundary\r\n";
                $body .= "Content-Type: $file_type; name=" . $file_name . "\r\n";
                $body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $file_name . "\r\n";
                $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
                $body .= "X-Attachment-Id: " . rand(1000, 99999) . "\r\n\r\n";
                $body .= $encoded_content;
            }
        }
    } else { //send plain email otherwise
        $headers = "From:" . $from_email . "\r\n" .
                "Reply-To: " . $sender_email . "\n" .
                "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
        $body = $sender_message;
    }

    $sentMail = @mail($recipient_email, $subject, $body, $headers);
    if ($sentMail) { //output success or failure messages
        die('Thank you for your email');
    } else {
        die('Could not send mail! Please check your PHP mail configuration.');
    }
}
?>

you can send regular or attachment emails using this class that I created.

here is the link with examples of how to use it.

Copying the code from this page - works in mail()

He starts off my making a function mail_attachment that can be called later. Which he does later with his attachment code.

<?php
function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {
    $file = $path.$filename;
    $file_size = filesize($file);
    $handle = fopen($file, "r");
    $content = fread($handle, $file_size);
    fclose($handle);
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
    $header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
    $header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";
    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; // use different content types here
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= $content."\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."--";
    if (mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {
        echo "mail send ... OK"; // or use booleans here
    } else {
        echo "mail send ... ERROR!";
    }
}

//start editing and inputting attachment details here
$my_file = "somefile.zip";
$my_path = "/your_path/to_the_attachment/";
$my_name = "Olaf Lederer";
$my_mail = "[email protected]";
$my_replyto = "[email protected]";
$my_subject = "This is a mail with attachment.";
$my_message = "Hallo,\r\ndo you like this script? I hope it will help.\r\n\r\ngr. Olaf";
mail_attachment($my_file, $my_path, "[email protected]", $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject, $my_message);
?>

He has more details on his page and answers some problems in the comments section.


You can try using the following code:

    $filename = 'myfile';
    $path = 'your path goes here';
    $file = $path . "/" . $filename;

    $mailto = '[email protected]';
    $subject = 'Subject';
    $message = 'My message';

    $content = file_get_contents($file);
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));

    // a random hash will be necessary to send mixed content
    $separator = md5(time());

    // carriage return type (RFC)
    $eol = "\r\n";

    // main header (multipart mandatory)
    $headers = "From: name <[email protected]>" . $eol;
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $eol;
    $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" . $separator . "\"" . $eol;
    $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol;
    $headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message." . $eol;

    // message
    $body = "--" . $separator . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"" . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" . $eol;
    $body .= $message . $eol;

    // attachment
    $body .= "--" . $separator . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"" . $filename . "\"" . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment" . $eol;
    $body .= $content . $eol;
    $body .= "--" . $separator . "--";

    //SEND Mail
    if (mail($mailto, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
        echo "mail send ... OK"; // or use booleans here
    } else {
        echo "mail send ... ERROR!";
        print_r( error_get_last() );
    }

Edit 14-June-2018

for more readability in some of email provider use

$body .= $eol . $message . $eol . $eol; and $body .= $eol . $content . $eol . $eol;


Swiftmailer is another easy-to-use script that automatically protects against email injection and makes attachments a breeze. I also strongly discourage using PHP's built-in mail() function.

To use:

  • Download Swiftmailer, and place the lib folder in your project
  • Include the main file using require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';

Now add the code when you need to mail:

// Create the message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
    ->setSubject('Your subject')
    ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'Web Master'))
    ->setTo(array('[email protected]'))
    ->setBody('Here is the message itself')
    ->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('myPDF.pdf'));

//send the message          
$mailer->send($message);

More information and options can be found in the Swiftmailer Docs.


I ended up writing my own email sending/encoding function. This has worked well for me for sending PDF attachments. I have not used the other features in production.

Note: Despite the spec being quite emphatic that you must use \r\n to separate headers, I found it only worked when I used PHP_EOL. I have only tested this on Linux. YMMV

None of the above answers worked for me due to their specified attachment format (application/octet-stream). Use application/pdf for best results with PDF files.

<?php

// just edit these 
$to          = "[email protected], [email protected]"; // addresses to email pdf to
$from        = "[email protected]"; // address message is sent from
$subject     = "Your PDF email subject"; // email subject
$body        = "<p>The PDF is attached.</p>"; // email body
$pdfLocation = "./your-pdf.pdf"; // file location
$pdfName     = "pdf-file.pdf"; // pdf file name recipient will get
$filetype    = "application/pdf"; // type

// creates headers and mime boundary
$eol = PHP_EOL;
$semi_rand     = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_$semi_rand";
$headers       = "From: $from$eolMIME-Version: 1.0$eol" .
    "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;$eol boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"";

// add html message body
$message = "--$mime_boundary$eol" .
    "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"$eol" .
    "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit$eol$eol$body$eol";

// fetches pdf
$file = fopen($pdfLocation, 'rb');
$data = fread($file, filesize($pdfLocation));
fclose($file);
$pdf = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

// attaches pdf to email
$message .= "--$mime_boundary$eol" .
    "Content-Type: $filetype;$eol name=\"$pdfName\"$eol" .
    "Content-Disposition: attachment;$eol filename=\"$pdfName\"$eol" .
    "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64$eol$eol$pdf$eol--$mime_boundary--";

// Sends the email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
    echo "The email was sent.";
}
else {
    echo "There was an error sending the mail.";
}

100% working Concept to send email with attachment in php :

I used this code for google smtp mail sending with Attachment....

Note: Download PHPMailer Library from here -> https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer


After struggling for a while with badly formatted attachments, this is the code I used:

$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->From      = '[email protected]';
$email->FromName  = 'FromName';
$email->Subject   = 'Subject';
$email->Body      = 'Body';
$email->AddAddress( '[email protected]' );
$email->AddAttachment( "/path/to/filename.ext" , "filename.ext", 'base64', 'application/octet-stream' );
$email->Send();

For PHP 5.5.27 security update

$file = $path.$filename;
$content = file_get_contents( $file);
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
$name = basename($file);

// header
$header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";

// message & attachment
$nmessage = "--".$uid."\r\n";
$nmessage .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$nmessage .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$nmessage .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
$nmessage .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
$nmessage .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n";
$nmessage .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
$nmessage .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";
$nmessage .= $content."\r\n\r\n";
$nmessage .= "--".$uid."--";

if (mail($mailto, $subject, $nmessage, $header)) {
    return true; // Or do something here
} else {
  return false;
}

To send an email with attachment we need to use the multipart/mixed MIME type that specifies that mixed types will be included in the email. Moreover, we want to use multipart/alternative MIME type to send both plain-text and HTML version of the email.Have a look at the example:

<?php 
//define the receiver of the email 
$to = '[email protected]'; 
//define the subject of the email 
$subject = 'Test email with attachment'; 
//create a boundary string. It must be unique 
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash 
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time())); 
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n 
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\nReply-To: [email protected]"; 
//add boundary string and mime type specification 
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\""; 
//read the atachment file contents into a string,
//encode it with MIME base64,
//and split it into smaller chunks
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('attachment.zip'))); 
//define the body of the message. 
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering 
?> 
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>" 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello World!!! 
This is simple text email message. 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<h2>Hello World!</h2> 
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p> 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>-- 

--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: application/zip; name="attachment.zip"  
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64  
Content-Disposition: attachment  

<?php echo $attachment; ?> 
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>-- 

<?php 
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer 
$message = ob_get_clean(); 
//send the email 
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); 
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" 
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed"; 
?>

As you can see, sending an email with attachment is easy to accomplish. In the preceding example we have multipart/mixed MIME type, and inside it we have multipart/alternative MIME type that specifies two versions of the email. To include an attachment to our message, we read the data from the specified file into a string, encode it with base64, split it in smaller chunks to make sure that it matches the MIME specifications and then include it as an attachment.

Working Concept :

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $mailto = $_POST["mailTo"];
    $from_mail = $_POST["fromEmail"];
    $replyto = $_POST["fromEmail"];
    $from_name = $_POST["fromName"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];
    $subject = $_POST["subject"];

    $filename = $_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"];
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES["fileAttach"]["tmp_name"])));

    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
    $name = basename($file);
    $header = "From: " . $from_name . " <" . $from_mail . ">\r\n";
    $header .= "Reply-To: " . $replyto . "\r\n";

    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" . $uid . "\"\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
    $header .= "--" . $uid . "\r\n";

// You add html "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n" or for Text "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" by I.khan
    $header .= "Content-type:text/html; charset=utf-8\n";
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";

// User Message you can add HTML if You Selected HTML content
    $header .= "<div style='color: red'>" . $message . "</div>\r\n\r\n";

    $header .= "--" . $uid . "\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"" . $filename . "\"\r\n"; // use different content types here
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $filename . "\"\r\n\r\n"; // For Attachment
    $header .= $content . "\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "--" . $uid . "--";
    if (mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {
        echo "<script>alert('Success');</script>"; // or use booleans here
    } else {
        echo "<script>alert('Failed');</script>";
    }
}
