    Please Help me with adding an attachment to an email via PHP

    Hello what im trying to do is very simple however I guess its just not simple enough for me

    Anyway my problem is I can quite make the attachment part of my flash/PHP emailer work.

    All I want to do is attach one file to an email, Basically a persons resume.

    I have the email part working I just cant seem to get the attachment to attach and send. The file is going to already be on the server, I used a tutorial to get files uploaded.
    this is my email actionscript:

    Code:
    System.useCodepage = true;
    send_btn.onRelease = function() {
     my_vars = new LoadVars();
     my_vars.sendername = name_box.text;
     my_vars.sender = email_box.text;
     my_vars.message = message_box.text;
     if (my_vars.sender != "" and my_vars.sendername != "" and my_vars.message != "") {
      my_vars.sendAndLoad("mailer.php", my_vars, "POST");
      gotoAndStop(2);
     } else {
      error_clip.gotoAndPlay(2);
     }
     my_vars.onLoad = function() {
      gotoAndStop(3);
     };
    };
    email_box.onSetFocus = subject_box.onSetFocus=message_box.onSetFocus=function () {
     if (error_clip._currentframe != 1) {
      error_clip.gotoAndPlay(6);
     }
    };

    this is my file upload actionscript:

    Code:
    //imagePane change to text output
    //Allow this domain
    System.security.allowDomain("http://localhost/");
    import flash.net.FileReference;
    // The listener object listens for FileReference events.
    var listener:Object = new Object();
    // When the user selects a file, the onSelect() method is called, and
    // passed a reference to the FileReference object.
    listener.onSelect = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
     
      // Flash is attempting to upload the image.
      statusArea.text += "Attempting to upload " + selectedFile.name + "\n";
      // Upload the file to the PHP script on the server.
      selectedFile.upload("upload.php");
    };
    // the file is starting to upload.
    listener.onOpen = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
      statusArea.text += "Uploading " + selectedFile.name + "\n";
    };
    //Possible file upload errors
    listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference, httpError:Number):Void {
     imagePane.contentPath = "error";
     imagePane.content.errorMSG.text = "HTTPError number: "+httpError +"\nFile: "+ file.name;
    }
    listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
     imagePane.contentPath = "error";
     imagePane.content.errorMSG.text = "IOError: "+ file.name;
    }
    listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void {
     imagePane.contentPath = "error";
     imagePane.content.errorMSG.text = "SecurityError: "+SecurityError+"\nFile: "+ file.name; 
    }
     
    var imageFile:FileReference = new FileReference();
    imageFile.addListener(listener);
    uploadBtn.onPress = uploadImage;
    imagePane.addEventListener("complete", imageDownloaded);
    // Call the uploadImage() function, opens a file browser dialog.
    function uploadImage(event:Object):Void {
      imageFile.browse([{description: "Text Files", extension: "*.txt;*.rtf;*.doc"}]);
    }
    // If the filedoes not download, the event object's total property
    // will equal -1. In that case, display am error message
    function imageDownloaded(event:Object):Void {
      if(event.total == -1) {
        imagePane.contentPath = "error"; 
      }
    }
     
    function downloadImage(file:Object):Void {
      imagePane.contentPath =  "./files/" + file;
    }
    here is my upload php:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    //create the directory if doesn't exists (should have write permissons)
    if(!is_dir("./files")) mkdir("./files"0755); 
    //move the uploaded file
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "./files/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
    chmod("./files/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], 0777);
    ?>
    and here is my email php:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    // read the variables from the strings
    $sendername $_REQUEST["sendername"];
    $subject "Resume from website.";
    $message $_REQUEST["message"];
    $sender $_REQUEST["sender"];
    // include sender IP in the message and the senders name.
    $full_message "Sender IP: " $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n\n" "From: " $sendername "\n\n" $message;
    $message$full_message;
     
    // remove the backslashes that normally appears when entering " or '
    $message stripslashes($message); 
    $sender stripslashes($sender); 
    // send the email
    if(isset($message) and isset($subject) and isset($sender)and isset($sendername)){
     
    mail("[email protected]"$subject$message"From: $sender");
    }
    ?>
    The upload script puts the file in a folder called files. How do I put the file into the email?

    At this point the only thing left is getting the file to attach to the email and send it, however I cant figure this out. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks

    PS: I have attached my files

    PSS: I couldnt attach the fla since its too big so I have attached the swf
