function sendMailWithAttachment($fromName = 'from name', $fromEmail, $recipient, $mail_body, $subject, $filenamewithpath = '', $cc='',$bcc=''){



    $fromEmail  =   'info@domain.com';


    $filename   =   explode('/', $filenamewithpath);
    $filename   =   $filename[count($filename) - 1];

    $content = file_get_contents($filenamewithpath);
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));

    // a random hash will be necessary to send mixed content
    $separator = md5(time());
    $separator = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$separator}x"; 

    // carriage return type (RFC)
    $eol = "\n";
    //$eol = "\r\n";

    // main header (multipart mandatory)
    $headers   = "From: ". $fromName . " <" . $fromEmail . ">\r\n";
    if(!empty($cc)){
        $headers    .=  "Cc: <" . $cc . ">\r\n";
    }
    if(!empty($bcc)){
        $headers    .=  "Bcc: <" . $bcc . ">\r\n";

    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $eol;
    $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" . $separator . "\"" . $eol;
    $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol;
    $headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message." . $eol;

    // message
    $body = "--".$separator.$eol;
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit".$eol.$eol;
    //$body .= "This is a MIME encoded message.".$eol;

    // message
    $body .= "--".$separator.$eol;
    $body .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"".$eol;
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
    $body .= $mail_body.$eol;

    /* $body  = "--" . $separator . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"" . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . $eol;
    $body .= $mail_body . $eol; */

    if($filename != '' && $content != ""){
        // attachment
        $body .= "--" . $separator . $eol;
        $body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"" . $filename . "\"" . $eol;
        $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . $eol;
        $body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"" . $eol;
        $body .= $content . $eol;
        $body .= "--" . $separator . "--";
    }

    //SEND Mail
    if(mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $headers)){

        return true;

    No there is only one browse field in form and the question is about sending mail body as attachment in outlook only. So please read the issue properly once. – Senior PHP Developer Feb 08 '17 at 08:29
  • You can't have an 8bit CTE part inside a 7bit multipart; the encoding on the multipart applies to all parts it contains. A base64 CTE doesn't require an 8bit container as its 7bit-safe. It might help if you posted an example of a generated message. Of course it would also help if you stopped reinventing the wheel, used a library that fixed this years ago and is known to work, like [PHPMailer](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) that you tagged this question with. – Synchro Feb 08 '17 at 08:58
  • yes, i know about PHPMailer and i used it many time but i really wants to understand the problem with core code that is why i posted this. – Senior PHP Developer Feb 08 '17 at 11:04
