body: <p>can anyone give me some idea how to attach a file from the server and send it as attachment through email?? 
  i have the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php 
  // Read POST request params into global vars 
  $to      = $_POST['to'];
  $from    = $_POST['from'];
  $subject = $_POST['subject']; 
  $message = $_POST['message'];
  // Obtain file upload vars
  $fileatt      = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name']; 
  $fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
  $fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];
  $headers = "From: $from";  
  if (is_uploaded_file($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}\""; 
  // Add a multipart boundary above the plain message 
   $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . 
  "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
  "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . 
  "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .   
  $message . "\n\n"; 
  // Base64 encode the file data 
  // Add file attachment to the message 
  $message .= "--{$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"; 
  }
  // Send the message 
  $ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 
  if ($ok) { 
  echo "&lt;p&gt;Mail sent! Yay PHP!&lt;/p&gt;";
