Hi I need help to get the script below sending attachments, Im fairly new to php and cant seem to get the attachments working , the email does send but I think the heaaders are corrupt and return garbge as opposed to the attached files

$to      = $_SESSION['companymail']; 

  $email   = $_POST['email']; 
  $name    = $_POST['fullname'];
  $subject = $subject; 
  $comment = $message;

  $To          = strip_tags($to);
  $TextMessage =strip_tags(nl2br($comment),"<br>");
  $HTMLMessage =nl2br($comment);
  $FromName    =strip_tags($name);
  $FromEmail   =strip_tags($email);
  $Subject     =strip_tags($subject);

  $boundary1   =rand(0,9)."-"
  .rand(10000000000,9999999999)."-"
  .rand(10000000000,9999999999)."=:"
  .rand(10000,99999);
  $boundary2   =rand(0,9)."-".rand(10000000000,9999999999)."-"
  .rand(10000000000,9999999999)."=:"
  .rand(10000,99999);

  for($i=0; $i < count($_FILES['fileatt']['name']); $i++){

      if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'][$i]) && 
         !empty($_FILES['fileatt']['size'][$i]) && 
         !empty($_FILES['fileatt']['name'][$i])){

             $attach      ='yes';
             $end         ='';
             $handle      =fopen($_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'][$i], 'rb'); 
             $f_contents  =fread($handle, $_FILES['fileatt']['size'][$i]); 
             $attachment[]=chunk_split(base64_encode($f_contents));
             fclose($handle); 

             $ftype[]       =$_FILES['fileatt']['type'][$i];
             $fname[]       =$_FILES['fileatt']['name'][$i];

         }

     }

I don't recommend to reinvent the wheel, try to use a free available class with high reputation.

Check out PHPMailer

require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');

$mail             = new PHPMailer(); // defaults to using php "mail()"

$body             = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]","First Last");

$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]', 'First Last');

$mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]","First Last");

$address = "[email protected]";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");

$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via mail(), basic";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif");      // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment

if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo "Message sent!";
}

Thanks for your answer, how can you use the line $mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment $mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); by getting the file details directly from the form post, in my case I would like to handle multiple attachments

Just use the input taken from $_FILES like $mail->AddAttachment($_FILES["file1"]["tmp_name"],$_FILES["file1"]["name"])
