This is my favorite mail attachment class. Use it if you like it.
class AttachmentEmail {
private $from = 'yours#email.com';
private $from_name = 'Your Name';
private $reply_to = 'yours#email.com';
private $to = '';
private $subject = '';
private $message = '';
private $attachment = '';
private $attachment_filename = '';
public function __construct($to, $subject, $message, $attachment = '', $attachment_filename = '') {
$this -> to = $to;
$this -> subject = $subject;
$this -> message = $message;
$this -> attachment = $attachment;
$this -> attachment_filename = $attachment_filename;
}
public function mail() {
if (!empty($this -> attachment)) {
$filename = empty($this -> attachment_filename) ? basename($this -> attachment) : $this -> attachment_filename ;
$path = dirname($this -> attachment);
$mailto = $this -> to;
$from_mail = $this -> from;
$from_name = $this -> from_name;
$replyto = $this -> reply_to;
$subject = $this -> subject;
$message = $this -> message;
$file = $path.'/'.$filename;
$file_size = filesize($file);
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
$content = fread($handle, $file_size);
fclose($handle);
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
$name = basename($file);
$header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
$header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
$header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$header .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
$header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; // use diff. tyoes here
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";
$header .= $content."\r\n\r\n";
$header .= "--".$uid."--";
if (mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
} else {
$header = "From: ".($this -> from_name)." <".($this -> from).">\r\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: ".($this -> reply_to)."\r\n";
if (mail($this -> to, $this -> subject, $this -> message, $header)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
}
And use it like
$sendit = new AttachmentEmail('test#example.com', 'Testing attachment!', 'Hi', '/home/test/test.jpg');
$sendit -> mail();

Gmail removes .zip attachment when it detects particular files inside, like EXEs. Add zip attachment as 20130319182911.piz and it should arrive.
It's not a phpmailer problem, but a Gmail policy.
