Re: PHP mailing attachments (form processing?)

Have you tried this form in multiple browsers?  Considering the historical
flakiness of the "file" input, I wonder if your problems are not so much
PHP-related as they are with the browser's support of the "file" form input.

You may be better served investigating that in conjunction with the
following page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

Perhaps an alternative would be to load the file into a temp directory long
enough to use that location as the attachment path instead of using the form
request, then delete the file after processing.
