Answer 1

I've taken a look at the link in the comments and cleaned up a few things into a function. For one thing I've used an associative array of arguments and heredocs, since the use of php tags and output buffering in the example weren't exactly clean (or as clean as PHP will get).

http://aramk.com/php/php-sending-an-email-attachment/

emailFile(array(
    'to' => '[email protected]',
    'from' => '[email protected]',
    'subject' => 'Some Subject',
    'message' => '<b>Hello!</b>',
    'plain ' => 'Get a new email client!',
    'file' => '/path/to/file'
));

You can pass along the file path from $_FILES into the "file" argument.
