Am Just a Beginner I only Know How to send Mail We out Attachments like Bellow

<?php 
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'admin@mydomain.net'
if(empty($_POST['name'])  || 
   empty($_POST['email']) || 
   empty($_POST['message']))
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required";
}

$name = $_POST['name']; 
$email_address = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['message']; 

if (!preg_match(
"/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i", 
$email_address))
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address";
}

if( empty($errors))
{
    $to = $myemail; 
    $email_subject = "New Mail From: $name";
    $email_body = "$message"; 

    $headers = "From: $myemail\n"; 
    $headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";

    mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
    //redirect to the 'thank you' page
    header('Location: thank-you.html');
} 

?>

Please consider using a premade library for mailing instead of using "mail()" directly. With Mailheader-Injection, your code is exploitable and can be abused for sending spam. — Honk der Hase, Jun 13 '13 at 12:04

You should check out this page: http://webcheatsheet.com/PHP/send_email_text_html_attachment.php

Or if your server supports PEAR, then you should use PEAR Mail with Mail_Mime, it's a much cleaner solution then the above.

<?php

include 'Mail.php';
include 'Mail/mime.php' ;

$text = 'Text version of email';
$html = '<html><body>HTML version of email</body></html>';
$file = '/home/richard/example.php';
$crlf = "\n";
$hdrs = array(
          'From'    => 'you@yourdomain.com',
          'Subject' => 'Test mime message'
          );

$mime = new Mail_mime(array('eol' => $crlf));

$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$mime->addAttachment($file, 'text/plain');

$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);

$mail =& Mail::factory('mail');
$mail->send('postmaster@localhost', $hdrs, $body);

?>

Mail.php and Mail/mime.php is part of PEAR Mail and Mail_Mime packages. If your server supports PEAR, you don't have to copy these files to your script's folder, PHP will include them anyway. — langm, Jun 14 '13 at 15:13
