Is there a way to attach multiple files to email using php?
yes. Enjoy and send mails with any number of attachments without any class/library.
<?php
// array with filenames to be sent as attachment
$files = array("file_1.ext","file_2.ext","file_3.ext",......);
// email fields: to, from, subject, and so on
$to = "mail@mail.com";
$from = "mail@mail.com";
$subject ="My subject";
$message = "My message";
$headers = "From: $from";
// boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// headers for attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// multipart boundary
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
// preparing attachments
for($x=0;$x<count($files);$x++){
$file = fopen($files[$x],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($files[$x]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n" . " name=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
}
// send
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>mail sent to $to!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>mail could not be sent!</p>";

i have stored path and file name in datbase. how can i send 2 files attach using above script
rajarajan2017
Hi vipi432,
$files is an array, instead of that you stored in a database, get the value from the database and stored it in an array like same $files. Thats it!. Whatever length(no of items) you have in array will become as an attachment by using the below code.
// preparing attachments
for($x=0;$x<count($files);$x++){
$file = fopen($files[$x],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($files[$x]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n" . " name=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";

hi raj ! thanks for replay. i hv took values from database and inside a for loop i put double quotes and comma in the values. bt hw can i put it in the array $file
rajarajan2017
$file = array();
array_push($file, $row[0]);Hope you understand the logic!

raj dis is my page
<?
session_start();
include("dbconn.inc");
include("dbfuc.inc");
?>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="multi.php">
<?
$loop=1;$ttcnt=3;$lscnt=3;$cntnum=0;$rcnt=2;$stack=array();
$sql="select custid,cvfilename from customer where custid in (333,370) order by custid ";
$rs=mysql_query($sql);
while ($adatac=mysql_fetch_array ($rs)){
$cntnum++;
$list[$loop]="cv_upload/".$cvfilename=$adatac["cvfilename"];
$cvfilename=$adatac["cvfilename"];
$cvpath="cv_upload/".$cvfilename;
$loop++;
$mlist=count($list);
}
$cm=$mlist+1;
for($cnt=1;$cnt<=$mlist;$cnt++){
if($cm-$cnt==1){ $com="";
}else {
$com=",";
}
$qt="”";
$lqt="“";
$cma="'";
$cvdat =$list[$cnt];
$cdt="\"$cvdat\"$com";
array_push($stack,$cdt);
}
$pusha=join("",$stack);
echo "<input type='hidden' name='atlist' value='$pusha'/>";
?>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Ho ho ho - Raj - you got one lazy so-and-so here - won't do or try anything himself. Well, serves you right for giving code without telling them to follow guidlines. Well, murali's fault I suppose. Feed a dog ...

Hi guys this code is useful for attach files which filenames are stored in database
check it
<?php
include("dbconn.inc");
$to = "vipi432@yahoo.com";
$from = "vipi432@yahoo.com";
$subject ="My subject";
$message = "My message";
$headers = "From: $from";
// boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// headers for attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// multipart boundary
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
// retreive datas from dataabase
$stack=array();
$sql="select filename from table";
$rs=mysql_query($sql);
while ($vipi=mysql_fetch_array ($rs)){
$x++;
$cvfilename=$vipi["filename"];
$cvpath="cv_upload/".$cvfilename;//cv_upload is the folder name
array_push($stack,$cvpath);
}
// preparing attachments
for($x=0;$x<count($stack);$x++){
$file = fopen($stack[$x],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($stack[$x]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n" . " name=\"$stack[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"$stack[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
}
// send
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>mail sent to $to!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>mail could not be sent!</p>";
}

Thanks rajarajan,
I had been looking online since a couple of days to find the code to attach a file to email. This link worked perfectly well.:)
