Hellow there
Lets see a script to send email with attachments. For this we will need to create a simple form in html which will allow user to upload files. Here is the html code for the form
form tag is used to submit some data to server by client. It has the attributes of action, where we specify the file to send the form data to, the method attricbute specifies the type used to submit data for e.g., get, post, put
get method is used to submit data which is okay for the client to see, and also we cannot send too much information using get method. Post methhod is used to submit information after encryption, we can submit a lot of information using post, put method is not commonly used in fact most servers and web hosts have blocked this method. This method allows users to upload their own files from any where without permission to server and there is more to put script than this which we will discuss later hopefully.
name attribute will simply allow us to refer to this form. This tag serves well when we do the form validation using java script which is missing here.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<form action="send_email.php" method="post" name="info" >

just save this html code in an html file.
The php script to send email is given below
You can simply save this code in a php file and make sure the form action attribute contains the correct path to this file and you will be able to send emails successfully. I wanted to talk about variables and functions of php but I think we will talk about it in part 3 for now enjoy sending emails with this php script :)
