The following is an example of a PHP function that will MIME encode a file and send it via email as an attachment.
I'm pulling the filename from the command line ($argv[1]). You could specify the address instead, of course.
#!/usr/bin/php <?php // Setup the email $my_file = $argv[1]; $my_name = "Joel Dare"; $my_mail = "joel@example.com"; $my_subject = "Ad Screenshot"; $my_message = "Hi,\r\nAttached is a screenshot of an ad I thought might be prohibited.\r\n\r\n- Joel"; $to_address = 'john@example.com'; // Say what we are doing echo "\nSending $my_file via email...\n"; // Send the email mail_attachment($my_file, $to_address, $my_mail, $my_name, $my_subject, $my_message); // ========================================================================= // mail_attachment // ------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Send an email, including an attachment. // ========================================================================= function mail_attachment($file, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $subject, $message) { // Read the file in and encode it $content = file_get_contents($file); $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content)); // Create a unique id to use in the MIME message $uid = md5(uniqid(time())); // Setup the file name to use in the email $name = basename($file); // Setup the email message $header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\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"; $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$name."\"\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$name."\"\r\n\r\n"; $header .= $content."\r\n\r\n"; $header .= "--".$uid."--"; // Send the email $return = mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header); if ($return) { echo "Mail sent.\n"; } else { echo "ERROR! Unable to send mail.\n"; } } ?>
