    Question Php mail() attachment!

    If I have the following code...

    PHP Code:

    $to 
    "customer@his_address.com";
    $subject "Yepeee!";
    $message "Wow, this is mail, HA";
    $from "someone@my_service";
    $headers "From: $from";

    Default

    Code:
    <?php
    //define the receiver of the email
    $to = 'youraddress@example.com';
    //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: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
    //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";
    ?>
