    Hi,

    Here is an example script that should do the trick. It is dependent on Pear being installed, but the basic process is in there.

    Also, in the Php docs online, there are a great number of examples in the comments for a related function. Search for "Send Multi attachment email" down in the comments in this Php manual page on the mail function (yes, there is an app for that :p) for a contributed example.

    Hope it helps,

    Brett

    If you want a browser interface to send emails then try phpmailer class.
    Create a form and store collected data into variables.

    You will have to include an upload functionality into this form, so the files are uploaded before running the script below.


    require_once('class.phpmailer.php');

    $mail = new PHPMailer();

    $body = "Your body text in HTML"
    $body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

    $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
    $mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com";

    $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP
    $mail->Host = "    mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
    $mail->Port = 26; // SMTP port (26 is for gmail servers)
    $mail->Username = "login"; // SMTP account email address login
    $mail->Password = "yourpassword"; // SMTP account password

    $mail->SetFrom("you@yourdomain.com","Sender Name");
    $mail->AddReplyTo("    you@yourdomain.com","Sender Name");

    $mail->Subject = "Subject Line";
    $mail->Body = $body;

    $mail->AddAddress("recipient@domain.com", "Joe");

    $mail->AddAttachment("attachment.pdf"); // attachment
    $mail->AddAttachment("attachement.gif"); // attachment

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