Ability to attach two files on contact form

**dctalks** · Aug 11th, 2012, 10:14 PM

I have created this php file so that users can apply online. There is two areas thou where I need them to upload a picture. I listed those values as 'headshot' and 'bodyshot'. What else do I need add to this php so that the files will attach properly and send?

I am new to learning this and would really like clear insight on what to add. Thank you for your time and help!

Current code:

PHP Code:


<?php

/* Email Variables */
$emailSubject = 'employment';
$webMaster = '[EMAIL]email@email.com[/EMAIL]';

/* Data Variables */
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$address = $_POST['adress'];
$city = $_POST['city'];

$driverlicense = $_POST['driverlicense'];
$transportation = $_POST['transportation'];
$adultservice = $_POST['adultservice'];
$bodycomfort = $_POST['bodycomfort'];
$headshot = $_POST['headshot'];
$bodyshot = $_POST['bodyshot'];
$startdate = $_POST['startdate'];
$hours = $_POST['hours'];
$weekdays = $_POST['weekdays'];

Typically, everything you're doing is done online, with a database.
There are no emails involved in this.

A person "registers", or creates an account, and uploads their information,
photos, etc. using a form. Their info is stored in a database that can be
accessed by the site owner (or admin person). The only emails involve
a confirmation of registration, validate an email, or simply normal email
communications.

The main problems with your email method are these:

1) Once the form is sent, it's sent.

2) If the user makes a mistake, it can't be corrected unless the
whole thing is done all over again ... and what if they make another
error? If it were you filling it out, would you be happy to retype
everything two or three times? And what if you decided you didn't
like the photo you sent, or you sent the wrong photo?

3) Each time they send or fix an error, another email is sent. So the
recipient has to determine what was fixed and somehow fix it on their end.

4) So ... the recipient has some sort of database on their PC? How messed-up
is that? They have to see their emails and figure out what to add and what
not to add?

5) The emails go to one person, or to several people? Who knows what has
been read and not read? What if the recipient of the email is on vacation,
or worse yet, has quit the company? Who is able to see the emails that
are coming in?

6) Nothing you do with emails is secure. You're dealing with personal
information that should be kept on a secure server? What if the emails
that are sent accidently get forwarded to someone who might be offended
by exotic (sexually explicit) cleaning services?

With a database, anyone with an admin password can view the database
anytime, anywhere in the world. The user can log into their own profile and
make changes whenever they wish to do so.

So I'm not going to spend the time to provide scripting for email attachments,
because I think you're not doing this the correct way. Maybe someone else can
give you some script examples. By not using a database, you're certainly going
to be disappointed in the outcome of your project.

Thanks for the insight. This is just the first initial build of the site, we will use databases later on in the next 2 months, but for now I need help with the current code to produce the upload for the files.

Can anyone please assist me with what I am asking for?

Thank you again for your time in advance.
