attaching file to email form

[davidjmorin]

Does anyone know how i would attach a file thats on a page to an email form? I figured out the whole phone email thing. but cannot figure out how to add the attachment from the page.

i have page ringtone/getlow.php

how can i have it so the file getlow.mp3 attaches to the email form when the user submits it?

hey i have a another question in regards to this script.

how would i have it so that someone can just put in there mobile number and then have a radio button that displays the carrier that they click and it auto populates the @carrier.com hidden? would it be best to use mysql or a var in php? wat would the code look like?

would this script work?

Are you asking me or telling me?

LOL, I don't know if it does or not. Have you tried it? If you try it and it works, then ... yes! If you try it and it doesn't, post the error you get ;)

ok lets scratch that.

im still learning php. i work 70 hours a week and do this on the side so not alot of free time to learn it like i should

basically i have no idea how to do what i want.

a form with a single field for email address.
a hidden field with a predefined file attached to it that sends to email user inputs. I think its a simple issue but i cannot find it nor figure it out'
