Short answer: yes. The usual, reliable pattern is a standard HTML form with enctype="multipart/form-data", server-side validation of the uploaded file, then attach the file to an outgoing message using a mail library such as PHPMailer instead of crafting MIME by hand. asked for an upload-then-email flow; noted a paid solution exists, but a free, maintainable route is to use PHPMailer + a few security checks.

Minimal form and server-side example (illustrative):

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="file" name="upload">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>

require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // PHPMailer via Composer

// basic checks
if (!empty($_FILES['upload']) && $_FILES['upload']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $tmp = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
    $safeName = basename($_FILES['upload']['name']);

    // use finfo to confirm MIME type before attaching
    $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
    $mime = finfo_file($finfo, $tmp);
    finfo_close($finfo);

    $allowed = ['image/jpeg','image/png','application/pdf'];
    if (in_array($mime, $allowed) && $_FILES['upload']['size'] <= 2*1024*1024) {
        $mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer(true);
        // configure SMTP or use mail() fallback
        $mail->addAddress('owner@example.com');
        $mail->Subject = 'Form upload';
        $mail->Body = $_POST['name'] ?? '';
        $mail->addAttachment($tmp, $safeName);
        $mail->send();
    }
}

Essential cautions and troubleshooting notes: validate both MIME and extension, enforce size limits, use move_uploaded_file() if keeping files on disk, store uploads outside webroot and give them random names, delete temporary copies after sending, and prefer authenticated SMTP (hosts often restrict mail()). If attachments do not arrive, check $_FILES error codes, server upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, mail server attachment size limits, and PHPMailer exceptions.

References for implementation and hardening: PHP file upload docs (file upload overview), move_uploaded_file (doc), finfo_file (doc), PHPMailer (GitHub), and OWASP file upload guidance (cheat sheet).

I built one in the past, not free of course.
