PHP mail function

Hello Team PHP,

I’m having a problem with the PHP mail function which I’ve used successfully many times previously. I am sending a PDF attachment with the email. It does send the attachment normally BUT it always has a second text file attachment that I don’t believe I’m sending. The file is always 127 bytes and titled 'UntitledAttachment00xxx.txt.

I’m sure that I’m missing something but I’ve been over it a hundred times and don’t see anything.

Thanks in advance for the help

Here is the code snippit:

[php]<?php

$to = $email1;

$v2=$_SESSION[‘RJEmail’];
$from = $_SESSION[‘RJEmail’];
$subject=“Online Application Submission - “.$row_AppData[‘LastName’].’, '.$row_AppData[‘FirstName’];
$mime_boundary=”==Multipart_Boundary_x”.md5(mt_rand()).“x”;
$headers = “From: “.$_SESSION[‘RJEmail’].” \r\n”;
$headers .= “CC: “.$email2.”, “;
$headers .= “MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n” .“Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n” .” boundary=”{$mime_boundary}"";

$message = “Attached please find an online employment application for your company. \n\n\n

THANK YOU!\n\n”;

$message .= “This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n” .
“–{$mime_boundary}\n” .
“Content-Type:text/html; charset=“iso-8859-1”\n” .
“Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n” .
$message . “\n\n”;
$message .= “–{$mime_boundary}\n”;
$message .= “–{$mime_boundary}\n”;

unset($files);

$fname = array();
$files[0] = $fn;
$fname[0]=str_replace (" ", “”, $files[0]);

// preparing attachments
for($x=0;$x<count($files);$x++){
$file = fopen($files[$x],“rb”);
$data = fread($file,filesize($files[$x]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$b=$fname[$x];
$message .= “Content-Type: {“application/octet-stream”};\n” . " name="$files[$x]"\n" .
“Content-Disposition: attachment;\n” . " filename="$b"\n" .
“Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n” . $data . “\n\n”;
$message .= “–{$mime_boundary}\n”;
}

@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);[/php]

I will give you the same advice I give everyone else. The mail function is notoriously unreliable. There are libraries and services that are far more suitable to utilize such as PHPMailer, SwiftMail, or MailGun.

Thank you for the advice. I’ll check them out.
