here is a function that works for me. The image gets attached Some of
the variables are globals like $return_path
function mail_html_file($email, $subject,$from,$return_path,$body)
{
$attach=
chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('../Images/Logo2.gif')));
$boundary = md5( time() );
$headers = sprintf("From: %s\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type:
multipart/related; boundary=\"%s\"",
$from, $boundary);
$message = sprintf("--%s\nContent-Type: text/html;
charset=\"iso-9959-1\"\nContent-Transfer-Encoding:
quoted-printable\n\n%s\n\n--%s\nContent-Type: Image/gif;
name=\"Logo.gif\"\nContent-ID: <Logo2.gif>\nContent-Transfer-Encoding:
base64\n\n%s\n\n--%s--\n",
$boundary,$body,$boundary,$attach,$boundary);
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f ".$return_path );
}

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
