Does the script support attachments?

It's easy to add the file input box, but the script needs to support the sending of attachments.

Jack's Formmail PHP supports attachments.

or here is a sample script

We don't know how or where you got that code.
It could be a completely different scripting language and so it is hard to give you direct solutions.

then can you get me an HTML code that works, is free, and isn't PHP, and let's the user send pictures that send as attachments to a certain email address...?

Hi Simon,

It's possible, but not that easy Wink

My service (Whiz-Mail) makes it very easy, but if you want to do the programming by yourself, then I can assure you there is not a simple way to attach a file to an e-mail message, since the file needs to get encoded (base64-encoding, to be precise) and get embeded into a boundary in the e-mail. Both, the base64-encoded version of the uploaded file, plus the boudaries must be created by the coder. Anyways, to make a long story short:

If you have a form with file submissions, you yourself (or one of my support staff can help you) can make it work through my service. There are also other services that provide so-called "remotely hosted form processing", the most extensive list I have found so-far is at:

This is really good,a simple and elegant one. But when we click the submit button to where does this data goes? Where are we specifying the email address of the reciever.

Has anyone figured out how to open your inbox via a form page and attach an email to the form submission.

thanks

Form Submission can be found in the HTML Form Zone.

Thanks. I am able to have the form email me, however I want the user to be able to attached an another email to the form that is being submitted. So bascily, they would click on the button on the form and it would then pop up the users inbox which they would then be able to find an email and attach it to the form.
Is this possible?
