parham_m_s journeyman Jan 31, 2000, 11:12 AM Post #1 of 5 (350 views) mime Can't Post i made a very simple Form Processing script to get mail from users that drop by. How would i include an additional text form into the script to allow people to upload a file/send an attachment? I did some research, figured out i needed something called mime, but's all i know. Can anyone help?

CGI::BasePlus RmpO Extra CGI::Base methods (incl file-upload) This may help you. Let us know. Brian Hayes

It is all Perl so you can do a local install if you do not have root access to the server. Also CGI by it's self will handle the upload too. Scott

You just tell it what to do and it does it. But if you insist on doing it your self you will need to read RFC 822. Also do some tests of your own to find out how to form the email header. Open an email with an attachment in pico or notepad and look at the header and how it handles the multipart message. You will also need to know what encoding to give each type of attachment eg <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR> Use encoding: If your message contains: ------------------------------------------------------------ 7bit Only 7-bit text, all lines <1000 characters 8bit 8-bit text, all lines <1000 characters quoted-printable 8-bit text or long lines (MUCH more reliable than "8bit") base64 Largely binary data: a GIF, a tar file, etc. </pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE> This is discussed on the MIME::Lite page somewhat.
