problem with attachment while using smtp

[sham1321]

Hai there,

while i am sending mail using smtp, my attachment is receiving as encrypt type....

if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt)) {
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

// Add file attachment to the message
$msg .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
}

Before adding the mail headers to the email you are sending out, echo out the headers and make sure they are properly formatted before you put them into the email:

echo $headers; exit;

Also, what OS are you running on? I notice that you are only using newline characters to separate the headers.
