attaching file, download link in email script

[aarontroy]

i'm fairly new to php and I am trying to wrap up a small project that includes attaching a file to a contact form script. I have gotten it to the point that the contact form will grab the file as well as store the file on the server where I am looking to attach a link to download the file when sending the email out. I'm guessing it's something simple but I am unable to get the link included when submitting the form.

PHP Code:

if(isset($_POST["s"])){

    
            $fn = $_POST["fn"];
            $numb = $_POST["numb"];
            $email = $_POST["email"];
            $comment = $_POST["comment"];
        
            $to = "aaron@pathofwebsite.com";
            $subject = "contact form";
            $msg = "From: {$fn} \r\n
                    Number: {$numb} \r\n
                    Email: {$email} \r\n
                    Comment: {$comment} \r\n
                    Download resume: {$res_link}";


            //Get the uploaded file information
            $name_of_uploaded_file =
                basename($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
             
            //get the file extension of the file
            $type_of_uploaded_file =
                substr($name_of_uploaded_file,
                strrpos($name_of_uploaded_file, '.') + 1);
             
            $size_of_uploaded_file =
                $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["size"]/1024;//size in KBs
            
            //Settings
            $max_allowed_file_size = 1000; // size in KB
            $allowed_extensions = array("doc", "docx", "rtf", "txt", "zip", "rar");
             
            //Validations
            if($size_of_uploaded_file > $max_allowed_file_size )
            {
              $errors .= "\n Size of file should be less than $max_allowed_file_size";
            }
             
            //------ Validate the file extension -----
            $allowed_ext = false;
            for($i=0; $i<sizeof($allowed_extensions); $i++)
            {
              if(strcasecmp($allowed_extensions[$i],$type_of_uploaded_file) == 0)
              {
                $allowed_ext = true;
              }
            }
             
            if(!$allowed_ext)
            {
              $errors .= "\n The uploaded file is not supported file type. ".
              " Only the following file types are supported: ".implode(',', $allowed_extensions);
            }

            //copy the temp. uploaded file to uploads folder
            $path_of_uploaded_file = "uploads/" . $name_of_uploaded_file;
            $tmp_path = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["tmp_name"];
             
            if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_path))
            {
              if(!copy($tmp_path, $path_of_uploaded_file))
              {
                $errors .= '\n error while copying the uploaded file';
              }
            }


            //Build link for the email person where the uploaded file is at
            $resume = "http://www.pathofwebsite.com/" . $path_of_uploaded_file;

            $res_link = "<a href='$resume'>Download File</a>";

            if(empty($email) || empty($numb)){    
        
                $msg = "Please enter a phone# or email to contact you at."; 
        
            }else{
            
                $number = $fn+$numb;
                $send = mail($to, $subject, $msg);
            
                if($send == true){
                    $msg = "Your email has been sent.";    
                }else{
                    $msg = "Seems to be an error, please try sending your message again.";
                }
        
            }

            
    
        }

Welcome,

Please check out the link in my signature. You've posted quite a lot of code so it's a litle unfair to 'dump n run' without even playing nice

[aarontroy]

I read all the rules/guidelines and had it wrapped in the code but when posting it told me to wrap it in [CODE] so i guess i didn't think it wanted to get wrapped in both but just one or the other.

edit: guess it just did need the [php] like i had originally read, knew id mess something up in my first post and get in trouble i'm playing nice, haven't used any forums for help just yet so trying to find a home for some possible help.

I think I figured it out..

/**** Have the $msg built after the file and res link has been created ******/


$msg = "From: {$fn} \r\n
Number: {$numb} \r\n
Email: {$email} \r\n
Comment: {$comment} \r\n
Download resume: {$res_link}";
