Php form upload and email

Question

I have the following code, ideally, it is expected that the user shall upload a file(image/video) when submitting the form, but it is not compulsory though.

<?php

$to = "someone@example.com";
$fromEmail = $_POST['fieldFormEmail']; 
$fromName = $_POST['fieldFormName']; 
$subject = $_POST['fieldSubject']; 
$message = $_POST['fieldDescription'];

/* GET File Variables */ 
$tmpName = $_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name']; 
$fileType = $_FILES['attachment']['type']; 
$fileName = $_FILES['attachment']['name']; 

/* Start of headers */ 
$headers = "From: $fromName"; 

if (file($tmpName)) { 
  /* Reading file ('rb' = read binary)  */
  $file = fopen($tmpName,'rb'); 
  $data = fread($file,filesize($tmpName)); 
  fclose($file); 

  /* a boundary string */
  $randomVal = md5(time()); 
  $mimeBoundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$randomVal}x"; 

  /* Header for File Attachment */
  $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n"; 
  $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" ;
  $headers .= " boundary=\"{$mimeBoundary}\""; 

  /* Multipart Boundary above message */
  $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . 
  "--{$mimeBoundary}\n" . 
  "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . 
  "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . 
  $message . "\n\n"; 

  /* Encoding file data */
  $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data)); 

  /* Adding attchment-file to message*/
  $message .= "--{$mimeBoundary}\n" . 
  "Content-Type: {$fileType};\n" . 
  " name=\"{$fileName}\"\n" . 
  "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . 
  $data . "\n\n" . 
  "--{$mimeBoundary}--\n"; 
} 

$flgchk = mail ("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$headers"); 

if($flgchk){
  echo "A email has been sent to: $to";
 }
else{
  echo "Error in Email sending";
}
?>

The problem that i am facing is,

it runs on page load, and
if file has not been uploaded, it throws a warning.

I tried putting the file upload part under "if filename exists" condition, but then the email does not send the attachment Please help. This file name is Contact.php

Answer 1

it runs on page load

enclose mail send feature in

if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && ($_POST['Submit']) == 'Send' )
{
  /* process only when submit button whose name='Submit' 
     and value= 'Send' is pressed
     entire PHP code */
}

if file has not been uploaded, it throws a warning.

check before attaching it in PHP

if((empty($_POST['attachment'])) || (empty($_FILES['attachment']))){
    //file is not attached, show error
}else{
 //file is attached, process it and send via mail
}
