File is not attached in email

I followed the video tutorial and all looks well. When I submit my email with an attached file, it takes me to my thank you page. When I received the email all of the pertinent form info is there...including the attached file field and the name of the attached file, but no file. Nothing.

Could someone take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

index.php

Here is the email I received.

Thanks guys!

It is possible that you forgot to add the attached file in the attachment section of the UE Server Behavior? Maybe referenced it wrong there?

If you have added it to the attachments section properly, it could be that your form is not using the POST method, or enctype isn't set to "multipart/form-data".

Another possibility is that the file you attached is too large to be uploaded, or that the upload_tmp_dir in your php.ini file is set to a directory that doesn't exist or doesn't have adequate permissions.

Hi Ray, you've always been so great at helping me and I really appreciate you.

I bought the UE because of the webassist UE video's easy to use tutorial. There was no mention of "behaviors" or, "mutipart/form-data". The video simply shows how to insert the attachment feature into the form... and voila. I'm saying this, because I have no idea of what you are talking about. I have a client that is breathing down my neck and I cannot get this thing to work. Can we set up a support ticket so, either you, or one of the other techs, can take a look at my form and behaviors?

I appreciate it.

Look at your <form> tag where the file is uploaded...

does it have:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" >

That is what I mean by that part. The server behavior is the Universal Email interface where you set all of the universal email settings.

The other settings that could be wrong are in the php.ini file.

If you want to set up a time for an engineer to call you, you would have to purchase a premium support ticket. However you can continue to post questions here and I'll try to help as best as I can.

If you wan to attach a zipped copy of the page that you are submitting and the include file for the email I can take a look and see if those are the problem. If not it is most likely the upload_tmp_dir in your php.ini file and I can give you a script to test that as well through this forum.

Hi Ray,

Are you referring to this form tag: <form action="" method="post" name="emailContact" id="emailContact">

I see no include file.

Thanks.

Looks like that is the issue... update the form to:

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" name="emailContact" id="emailContact">

Ok, that's what I thought you were referring to. Just making sure.

I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks, Ray!

It didn't work, Ray. Now the attach field is missing from the email. Help!

Thanks

Here is a file you can use to test if uploading files works on your server.

Just browse to this page and try uploading a file. See if you get a success or failure message after uploading the same file you are trying to attach to your email.

If you get a success message, please send me a zip of the form page you are trying to use to send the email as well as the email configuration page that will be named after the page you applied Universal email to. It will be in the webassist/email/ directory.
