looking for php email form w/image upload

[joshlindem]

I currently use email forms for various reasons. I have one customer that would like to have an email form that users would fill out, but would additionally upload an image.

So that when the user hits "submit" it takes all that information and inserts it into an email and sends it off to the owner. The owner receives the text based email with an image attachment.

As I've said I've used email forms and they're great, but this requirement of having the option of attaching an image is a little beyond me. can anyone help me out here? how do I go about attaching an image as an attachment to the email?

Thanks,
josh

Ive been thinking about this.

I dont know if theres a way to upload an image and send it as an email attachment.... if anyone does know how to do this let me know.

But....

You could upload the image to your server, then send an html email with the image in the body of the message.

That sounds like the best way to me..... if this is what you decide to do, and your having problems with it, i can write you a quick script that should work with a little modification.

Let me know

as accurex said, I've always uploaded the file to a temporary directory then sent it the file as an attachment, then i use the unlink() function to delete the file from the server.

Here's the upload function that i use to upload images, you can play around with it and see if you can get it to attach to an email without having to upload it to the server.

Code: Select all

function imageUpload($image, $width, $height, $location) {
    global $_FILES;
    $filename = $_FILES[$image]['name'];
    $temporary_name = $_FILES[$image]['tmp_name'];
    $mimetype = $_FILES[$image]['type'];
    $filesize = $_FILES[$image]['size'];
    $rand = rand(1000, 9999);
    if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$image]['tmp_name'])) {
        switch($mimetype) {
            case "image/jpg":
            case "image/jpeg":
            case "image/pjpeg":
                $i = imagecreatefromjpeg($temporary_name);
                break;
            case "image/gif":
                    $i = imagecreatefromgif($temporary_name);
                break;
            case "image/png":
                $i = imagecreatefrompng($temporary_name);
                break;
            }
        //unlink($temporary_name);
        $dest1_x = $width;
        $dest1_y = $height;
        if (imagesx($i) > $dest1_x or imagesy($i) > $dest1_y) {
            if (imagesx($i) >= imagesy($i)) {
                $thumb1_x = $dest1_x;
                $thumb1_y = imagesy($i)*($dest1_x/imagesx($i));
            } else {
                $thumb1_x = imagesx($i)*($dest1_y/imagesy($i));
                $thumb1_y = $dest1_y;
            }
        } else {
            $thumb1_x = imagesx($i);
            $thumb1_y = imagesy($i);
        }
        
        $full = imagecreatetruecolor($thumb1_x,$thumb1_y);
        imagecopyresampled($full, $i ,0, 0, 0, 0, $thumb1_x, $thumb1_y, imagesx($i), imagesy($i));
        $pic = $rand . $filename;
        imagegif($full,$location . $pic,80);
        return $pic;
    }
}
