Adding Multiple Images to Custom form To be sent to Admin Email

I have most of my custom form created, now i'm running into some problems allowing multiple image uploads into form. Then have these images attached to the email. I have search for information, but not getting nowhere. This custom form is based off of DrByte's contribution band-signup (which didn't include any image support). The form is at http://qualityautowi.com/index.php?main_page=vehicle_tradein any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok I have worked out how to get the multiple images button on my custom form. Now I have a piece of code that would take those images and attach them in a email. I'm just not sure how to implement this code to work in the header.php file. If you have any other ways to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.

<?php
	// did files get sent
	if(isset($_FILES) && (bool) $_FILES) {
	
		// define allowed extensions
		$allowedExtensions = array("pdf","doc","docx","gif","jpeg","jpg","png","rtf","txt");
		$files = array();
			
		// loop through all the files
		foreach($_FILES as $name=>$file) {
		
			// define some variables
			$file_name = $file['name']; 
			$temp_name = $file['tmp_name'];
			
			// check if this file type is allowed
			$path_parts = pathinfo($file_name);
			$ext = $path_parts['extension'];
			if(!in_array($ext,$allowedExtensions)) {
				die("extension not allowed");
			}
			
			// move this file to the server YOU HAVE TO DO THIS
			$server_file = "/var/www/uploads/$path_parts[basename]";
			move_uploaded_file($temp_name,$server_file);
			
			// add this file to the array of files
			array_push($files,$server_file);
		}	
			
		// define some mail variables
		$to = "seanclarkg######################";
		$from = "[email protected]"; 
		$subject ="test attachment"; 
		$msg = "here ya go";
		$headers = "From: $from";
		
		// define our boundary
		$semi_rand = md5(time()); 
		$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
		
		// tell the header about the boundary
		$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n";
		$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n";
		$headers .= " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\""; 
		
		// part 1: define the plain text email
		$message ="\n\n--{$mime_boundary}\n";
		$message .="Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
		$message .="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $msg . "\n\n";
		$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
		
		// part 2: loop and define mail attachments
		foreach($files as $file) {
			$aFile = fopen($file,"rb");
			$data = fread($aFile,filesize($file));
			fclose($aFile);
			$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
			$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n";
			$message .= " name=\"$file\"\n";
			$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n";
			$message .= " filename=\"$file\"\n";
			$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
			$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
		}
	
		// send the email
		$ok = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 
		if ($ok) { 
			echo "<p>mail sent to $to!</p>"; 
		} else { 
			echo "<p>mail could not be sent!</p>"; 
		}
		die();
	}
?>

and this is the header.php file

Also I have found another solution that may work, but not sure how to go about doing this. The solution is at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6804579/how-can-i-easily-allow-users-to-upload-multiple-files This solution says to use phpmailer. Don't know if this would work.

See posts by ladybugmom in this thread

http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?4855-custom-forms-data-collection&p=809905#post809905

I really appreciate your help dw08gm. I have read through the entire forum and not really finding out the information that is needed to attach the uploaded files to the email. I know zen cart uses a function called phpmailer which will allow attaching the uploaded files to the email, but not really sure how to go about doing that.

The concept is:

1. Create an array with your file attachment data:

$att_array = array('file' => $attachment_file, 'name' => basename($attachment_file), 'mime_type'=>$attachment_filetype);

Of course, substituting the correct information for each of those $attachment_xxxxxx variables:
$attachment_file is the actual complete physical path (on the server) to the file being attached -- that is, wherever you moved the files to during your upload
$attachment_filetype is the MIME type for that file. If you skip the 'mime_type' part of this array, it will use application/octet-stream as a safe fallback.
If you need to handle submitting multiple files, you can make it a nested array.

2. Then include that array in your email data:

      zen_mail(STORE_NAME, SEND_TO_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text, $first_name . ' ' . $last_name, $email_address, array('EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML' => $email_html), 'band_signup'[B], $att_array[/B]); 

3. MIME-HTML must be enabled in your Admin->Configuration->Email Options settings.

Thank you DrByte for responding i'm not an expert is php. I'm not quite sure where the files are being uploaded. I have a folder in my directory images/uploads/ and that is where I want these files to go. Here is the bit of jscript that makes the image upload work.

function addElement()
        {
            var ni = document.getElementById('org_div1');
            var numi = document.getElementById('theValue');
            var num = (document.getElementById('theValue').value -1)+ 2;
            numi.value = num;
            var newDiv = document.createElement('div');
            var divIdName = num;  newDiv.setAttribute('id',divIdName);

            newDiv.innerHTML = '<input type="file"  class="fileupload" size="80" name="file' + (num) + '" onchange="addElement()"/> <a class="removelink" onclick=\'removeElement(' + divIdName + ')\'>Remove This File</a>';

            // add the newly created element and it's content into the DOM
            ni.appendChild(newDiv);
        }

        function removeElement(divNum)
        {
            var d = document.getElementById('org_div1');
            var olddiv = document.getElementById(divNum);

            d.removeChild(olddiv);
        }

Also i'm not familiar with creating arrays, but i'm guessing that would go into the header.php file. If you could provide me with the code need to add that would be greatly appreciated.

GodfatherAntiques:

I'm not quite sure where the files are being uploaded.
Your previous post contained this:

            // move this file to the server YOU HAVE TO DO THIS
            $server_file = "/var/www/uploads/$path_parts[basename]";
            move_uploaded_file($temp_name,$server_file); 
```You would need to use the same path.

It might possibly be a bit simpler if you used the built-in upload class. You'll find examples of its use in /includes/classes/shopping_cart.php and /admin/includes/modules/new_product_preview.php

ok i'm having some success, but the images are not showing in the attachment in email. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. here is the new code for my header.php file

A little more imput would be greatly appreciate. Thank you Drbyte

You need to do something in your code to set $path1, $path2, $attachment_filetype, etc, such as by processing the uploaded data in the $_FILES array
General information about uploading files via PHP can be found on the PHP documentation site at http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php

I'm not quite sure what else to add...I do understand what you are saying. What other code would I need to add to make this work. I'm just learning how to use php. I know i'm almost there...thanks to your contribution.

ok I found this code that will process that data with the $_FILES array, but not sure if this is correct or if I need to add any more information.

// Where the file is going to be placed 
$target_path = "uploads/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.  
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

1. To do uploads, you need to change the form attributes:```

must change to:

2. Adding this in place of your $att_array lines might do the job:```
$att_array = array();
include(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'upload.php');
foreach($_FILES as $key => $file) {
  if (zen_not_null($_FILES[$key]['tmp_name'])) {
    if ($upload = new upload($key, DIR_FS_UPLOADS)) {
        $att_array[] = array('file' => $upload->destination . $upload->filename, 'name' => $upload->filename);
    }
  }
}

ok when I added these lines i'm getting a red rectangle on the form success page that says warning no file uploaded.

Then you'll need to do some debugging to find out what's failing where and why.
It could be permissions problems.
It could be form problems.
It could be a logic error.
etc.

I don't have this code installed on any sites. I spent an hour to research existing Zen Cart code and wrote my post based on things already working in regular Zen Cart.
My code could be wrong.

I'm not getting any debug errors in the cache folder, and I have the images/uploads/ set to 777. So not really not sure what might be causing this problem.

Thank you drbyte for your help....I finally got it working. With your help and the help of reasearch I was able to figure it out. I really appreciate the contribution you provide the Zen Cart community. I will post updated information later about how I got it working....so other's can benefit from this forum.

Here's one zenner who would definitely appreciate your updates, GF. I'm hoping to do the same thing. - mike
