I am writing a submission form that sends a file attachment. It works, and sends the file. The problem I am having is that if no file is attached, it send’s a blank dummy file with no extension called upload. I have tried various checks to make sure a file is uploaded, and if not, it should skip the part creating the array to store the file into, but apparently it does not. I have used isset and !empty(var) but it still sends the dummy file. Can anyone please help?!
Here is the PHP
[php]<?php
//CREATING MAIL VARIABLES FROM FORM
$firstName = $_POST[‘firstName’];
$lastName = $_POST[‘lastName’];
$contactNumber1 = $_POST[‘contactNumber1’];
$contactNumber2 = $_POST[‘contactNumber2’];
$Hardware = $_POST[‘Hardware’];
$Software = $_POST[‘Software’];
$Details = $_POST[‘Details’];
$Publication = $_POST[‘Publication’];
$Revenue = $_POST[‘Revenue’];
$email_sender = "[email protected]";
if(!empty($_FILES)) {// did files get sent
$files = array();
// loop through all the files
foreach($_FILES as $name=>$file) {//for each
// define variables for temp
$file_name = $file['name'];
$temp_name = $file['tmp_name'];
// check if this file type is allowed
$path_parts = pathinfo($file_name);
$ext = $path_parts['extension'];
// move this file to the server YOU HAVE TO DO THIS
$server_file = "upload/$path_parts[basename]";
move_uploaded_file($temp_name,$server_file);
// add this file to the array of files
array_push($files,$server_file);
}//end for each
}//end did files get sent
//create email variables
$to = "[email protected]";
$from = $email_sender;
$subject = “Message from Help Desk Submission Form”;
$msg = "

$headers = “From: $from”;

$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = “==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x”;

$headers .= “Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n”;
$headers .= " boundary="{$mime_boundary}-"";

$message .=“Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n” . $msg . “\n\n”;
$message .= “–{$mime_boundary}-\n”;
// part 2: loop and define mail attachments
foreach($files as $file) {
$aFile = fopen($file,“rb”);
$data = fread($aFile,filesize($file));
fclose($aFile);

$message .= “–{$mime_boundary}-\n”;
}
//SEND EMAIL
$ok = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
if ($ok) {
echo
“

”;unlink($server_file);
} else {
echo “
