How do I send Email with attachment on form submission using PHP?
Hello PHP pros,
This one's probably a simple one for those of you versed in php (which I'm not). I'm trying to add "upload file" capability to an existing form. The form works, I just don't know what I have to add to the following code so that a user can add an attachment to a message.
I've tried a few things from what I've read online, but I must be missing something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Dave
