Sending an E-mail with attachment with PHP from Flex

Question

Hey,
I've made a custom compontent wich mails your own drawings to you. But I have a problem to send an e-mail with attachment.
I use the HttpService to send the data to the php-file, but I always get the Fault message (form phpFault()).
This is my code in Flex:
<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
        import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
        import mx.graphics.codec.PNGEncoder;
        import mx.events.ValidationResultEvent;
        import mx.controls.Alert;
        [Bindable]
        private var byteArray:ByteArray;
        private function mailImage(comp:DisplayObject):void
            var emailValidation:ValidationResultEvent = validEmail.validate();
            if(emailValidation.type == ValidationResultEvent.INVALID)
                Alert.show("Invalid E-mail");
            else
                var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(comp.width, comp.height);
                bitmapData.draw(comp);
                var png:PNGEncoder = new PNGEncoder();
                byteArray = png.encode(bitmapData);
                httpMail.send();
        private function phpResult(evt:ResultEvent):void
            Alert.show("You've got mail.");
        private function phpFault(evt:FaultEvent):void
            Alert.show("Something went wrong. /n" + evt.message.toString());
    ]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:EmailValidator id="validEmail" source="{ipEmail}" property="text"/>
<mx:HTTPService id="httpMail" url="php/byte-receiver.php" method="POST" result="phpResult(event)" fault="phpFault(event)">
    <mx:request>
        <img>{byteArray}</img>
        <mail>{ipEmail.text}</mail>
    </mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
<mx:Label text="draw your own image" styleName="h1" x="10" y="0" width="493" height="60"/>
<mx:Canvas
    id="drawCanvas"
    x="10" y="77"
    width="561" height="245"
    borderStyle="solid" borderColor="#A6A6A6">
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Label x="10" y="329" text="Your e-mail:" styleName="text"/>
<mx:TextInput
    id="ipEmail"
    x="86" y="324" width="417"/>   
<mx:Label
    id="lblMailImage"
    x="10" y="383"
    text="Mail my image"
    click="mailImage(drawCanvas)"
    mouseOver="lblMailImage.setStyle('color',  '#00067b')"
    mouseOut="lblMailImage.setStyle('color',  '#717171')"
    styleName="button"/>
</mx:Canvas>
This is my PHP code
<?php                 
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = "ImgContact.png"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$email_from = "[email protected]"; //Who the email is from
$email_subject = "Contact Winckelmans.net"; // The Subject of the email
$email_message = "Mail send by winckelmans.net. Your drawing is in the attachment"; // Message that the email has in it
$email_to = $_POST['mail']; // Who the email is too
$headers = "From: $email_from";  
$data= $_POST['img'];
$semi_rand = md5(time());  
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";  
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .  
            "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .  
            " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";  
$email_message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .  
                "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .  
                "Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .  
               "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .  
$email_message . "\n\n";  
$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .  
                  "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .  
                  " name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .  
                  //"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
                  //" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
                  "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .  
                 $data . "\n\n" .  
                  "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";  
$mailsend = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);  
echo $mailsend;
?>
This is the error I get in an Alert:
(mx.messaging.messages::ErrorMessage)#0

Thanks in advance

Hi
I'm having the same issue, except my application actually sends the email but the attachment is 0 octet and it doesn't even give me an error... Any chance you found a solution for this and could share it ?
Thanks
