try this code,mention your file name as attachment...

 <?php
        ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

        $to = "example@gmail.com";
$subject= "Contact Mail";

$mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";

         $headers = "From:<developer@gmail.com>"."\r\n" .
         "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
            "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
            " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

         $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
            "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
            "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
            "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
            "Contact Details"."\n".
         "Name :". $_POST['name']."\n".
          "email :". $_POST['email']."\n";

 $message.="comments :". $_POST['comments']."\n"

         foreach($_FILES as $userfile)
         {
            $tmp_name = $userfile['tmp_name'];
            $type = $userfile['application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document'];
            $name = $userfile['name'];
            $size = $userfile['size'];

            if (file_exists($tmp_name))
            {
               if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name))
               {
                  $file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');

                  $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));

                  fclose($file);


                  $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
               }

               $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
                  "Content-Type: {$type};\n" .

               $data . "\n\n";
            }
         }

         $message.="--{$mime_boundary}--\n";



         if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
         echo "<script>alert('Mail sent Successfully');</script>";

u must be use phpmailer https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

$mail = new PHPMailer;
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = "mail.example.com";
//Set the SMTP port number - likely to be 25, 465 or 587
$mail->Port = 25;
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "yourname@example.com";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "yourpassword";
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'First Last');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
$mail->addReplyTo('replyto@example.com', 'First Last');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('whoto@example.com', 'John Doe');
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer SMTP test';
//Read an HTML message body from an external file, convert referenced images              to embedded,
//convert HTML into a basic plain-text alternative body
$mail->msgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html'), dirname(__FILE__));
//Replace the plain text body with one created manually
$mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body';
//Attach an image file
$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png');
//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   } else {
    echo "Message sent!";
   }

include("class.phpmailer.php");   
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = "mail.example.com";                       //your host name
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "yourname@example.com";                //email username
$mail->Password = "yourpassword";                        // email pass
$mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'First Last');        //email adress
$mail->addReplyTo('replyto@example.com', 'First Last');,

$mail->addAddress('whoto@example.com', 'John Doe');      // whoto 1
$mail->addAddress('whoto@example.com', 'John Doe');      // whoto 2
$mail->addAddress('whoto@example.com', 'John Doe');      // whoto 3


$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer SMTP test';                  // title
$mail->msgHTML($body);                                   // your message body


$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png');        // file url
$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png');        // file url
$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png');        // file url

if (!$mail->send()) {
     echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
 } else {
      echo "Message sent!";
 }
