Uploading An Image From Web Form And Send As Email Attachement


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

I have a contact form with the ability to upload an image and all is working ok. The contact form sends an email and currently uploads the image to the server.

What I want to do is attach the image to the email as well. Code below any guidance would be appreciated, thanks

<?php
include('includes/config3.php');
// Check if the form has been submitted:
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

    // Check for an uploaded file:
    if (isset($_FILES['photoTemp'])) {
        
        // Validate the type. Should be JPEG or PNG.
        $allowed = array ('image/pjpeg', 'image/jpeg', 'image/JPG', 'image/X-PNG', 'image/PNG', 'image/png', 'image/x-png');
        if (in_array($_FILES['photoTemp']['type'], $allowed)) {
        
            // Move the file over.
            if (move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['photoTemp']['tmp_name'], "/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/photoTemp/{$_FILES['photoTemp']['name']}")) {
                echo '<p><em>The file has been uploaded!</em></p>';
            } // End of move... IF.
            
        } else { // Invalid type.
            echo '<p class="error">Please upload a JPEG or PNG image.</p>';
        }

    } // End of isset($_FILES['upload']) IF.
    
    // Check for an error:
    
    if ($_FILES['photoTemp']['error'] > 0) {
        echo '<p class="error">The file could not be uploaded because: <strong>';
    
        // Print a message based upon the error.
        switch ($_FILES['photoTemp']['error']) {
            case 1:
                print 'The file exceeds the upload_max_filesize setting in php.ini.';
                break;
            case 2:
                print 'The file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE setting in the HTML form.';
                break;
            case 3:
                print 'The file was only partially uploaded.';
                break;
            case 4:
                print 'No file was uploaded.';
                break;
            case 6:
                print 'No temporary folder was available.';
                break;
            case 7:
                print 'Unable to write to the disk.';
                break;

                print 'A system error occurred.';
                break;
        } // End of switch.
        
        print '</strong></p>';
        
    } // End of error IF.
    
    // Delete the file if it still exists:

Hi

Thanks for the speedy reply margaux and the link, but I was hoping to find a way of adding to the existing script rather than start afresh. But then again maybe I need to, thanks.

Thanks for the link HartleySan.

I am saving the images to the server but would like the image to be sent as an attachment with email using hopefully the above code. But concerned about the link as I thought that headers were a risky for header injection and automated submission?

Thanks

Just thought I would share this, I struggled to get this working but have now succeeded.

@ianhg, that's great that you got it to work. Whilst there is nothing wrong with your code, I hope you don't mind if I make a couple of suggestions.

 

As is, it won't be easy to maintain so you might want to consider making it more modulable (probably not a word but I'm sure you know what I mean). You could put your functions in a separate file, say functions.php and include that file.

 

To check for allowed file types - put all the allowed file types into an array, then use the function in_array() to see if the file type is in the array. If you need to allow or disallow a filetype, just add/remove it from the array. Here's a function I created

function file_allowed($filetype) {
$filesAllowed = array('image/png','image/jpg','image/jpeg','image/pjpeg','application/x-rar-compressed','application/zip','application/pdf');
	if (in_array($filetype, $filesAllowed)) {
		return true;
	}
	else {
		return false;
	}
}

Then when you loop through $_FILES, you could replace all that awkward code with

$count = count($_FILES['ssFile']['size']) 
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) {
	if (file_allowed(strstr($_FILES['ssFile']['type'][$i]))) {
	    $fileAllow="true";
	}
	else {
	    $fileAllow="false";
	}
}

Note - I created a count variable so you only count through the $_FILES array once, not every time you run through the loop. For big loops this will help with performance.

 

I'm not sure $_FILES{'type'] is the best way to access the file type as it is supplied by the browser and can be manipulated. You might want to parse the file name instead.

 

Hope this helps.
