Creating this isnt the hard part, its trying to insert an attachment. I created a form file with all needed attributes and so <input type="file" name="imgfile"> to upload an image. My process form looks like this and works perfectly with only one problem. The image isnt attached, I only get to see its location an my PC. Code: <?php // get posted data into local variables $EmailFrom = Trim($_POST[EmailFrom]); $EmailTo = "emailadres"; $Subject = Trim($_POST[Subject]); $Naam = Trim($_POST[Naam]); $imgfile = Trim($_POST[imgfile]); // validation $validationOK=true; if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="" OR Trim($_POST[Subject])=="" OR $Naam = Trim($_POST[Naam])=="" OR $imgfile = Trim($_POST[imgfile])=="") $validationOK=false; if (!$validationOK) {   print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";   exit; } // prepare email body text $Body = ""; $Body .= "$Naam "; $Body .= "zou graag zijn evenement $Subject in de kijker plaatsen"; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Hij geeft hiervoor $Prijs"; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "$imgfile"; $Body .= "\n"; // send email $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); // redirect to success page if ($success){   print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=succes.php\">"; } else{   print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">"; } ?> Any idea´s? I also tried with $_FILES but that just gave me the location on my server without the file Code: $uploaddir = '/path/to/your/image/files/'; // remember the trailing slash!    $uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['imgfile']; Back to top lostboy Joined: 02 May 2004 Posts: 5915 Location: toronto, canada Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2004 6:50 pm    Post subject: The email is sent from the serverl. Any file to be attached to the email needs to be on the server as well, so you need to upload the file, send the email and then delete the file, if you want to. _________________ Lostboy Cat, the other other white meat Please read Posting Etiquette before posting You can always try Google Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First
