Consider using something like phpmailer to handle the emails. Makes
attaching things really simple.

Cat, the other other white meat

Bastien

How could anyone not love your advice when you seem to enjoy cats so much!
I did download the phpmailer, however at this point I did not use it. On the
one hand, my preferences is to be able to read/write and understand the code
by itself (myself), however on the other hand, I'm not really interested in
re-inventing the wheel everytime either. I have written all my mail scripts
and re-cycle them as needed, I have yet to conquer the attachment hill yet.

Thanks for your response, I appreciate your taking the time to offer help.

Please accept my apology in that my response was sent directly to you and
not the group, I hit 'Reply" instead of 'Reply to Group'.

No problem.

Here is an example of my code using the RMail script from phpguru.org.
It was previously known as html_mime_mail5.

<?php
// Create a new message.
$o_Mail = new RMail();

// As we are going to use SMTP to send the email, we need to know
where to send it.
// On my setup, the SMTP ini setting is what I'll be using.
// You can also supply any SMTP AUTH settings needed here.
$o_Mail->setSMTPParams
(
ini_get('SMTP'),
25,
Null,
registrySettings_V2::read(registrySettings_V2::REG_SMTP_AUTH_LOGIN_REQUIRED),
registrySettings_V2::read(registrySettings_V2::REG_SMTP_AUTH_LOGIN),
registrySettings_V2::read(registrySettings_V2::REG_SMTP_AUTH_PASSWORD)
);

// Set the From header
$o_Mail->setHeader('From', '"Richard Quadling" <RAQ(a)nowhere.co.uk>');

// Some other useful headers.
// $o_Mail->setHeader('Return-Path', '"Return to me"
<ReturnToMe(a)nowhere.co.uk>');
// $o_Mail->setHeader('Return-Receipt-To', '"Delivery Receipt"
<DeliveryConfirmations(a)nowhere.co.uk>');
// $o_Mail->setHeader('Disposition-Notification-To', '"Read or Delete
Notification" <Disposition(a)nowhere.co.uk>');

// Add the subject.
$o_Mail->setSubject($s_Subject);

// Add the HTML with a location of the images to be added to the email
automatically, rather than relying on internet to provide images
// which is blocked by various security levels of Outlook.
$o_Mail->setHTML($s_HTMLMessage, 'D:/Global Web Documents/images/');

// Let's add an attachment.
// The filename, the mime type, the encoding and the file name to show
the attachment as.
$o_Mail->addAttachment(new fileAttachment('D:/Uploaded/content.zip',
'application/zip', new Base64Encoding(), 'YourContent.zip'));

// If you want to keep copies of your emails, then setCc is the method to use.
$o_Mail->setCc('RAQ(a)nowhere.co.uk');

// Finally, send the email to the recipients (held in an array to
allow for multiple addresses) using SMTP.
$o_Mail->send(array('"Your recipient\'s name"
<your_recipient_email(a)domain.com>'), 'smtp');
?>

Probably because you ignored his latest request to chat. Just guessing, really.
