       }
 $flgSend = @mail($strTo,"no-subjet",null,$strHeader);

Try replacing your form with this:

<form action="sendmail.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Name:<input type="text" name="name">
    File:<input type="file" name="attach" id="attach">
    <input type="submit">
</form>

The enctype attribute in the form is important.

See following link for more details: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp

Also ensure all the names in PHP match with HTML, such as the name of file input is attach , so it should be the same in PHP.

if($_FILES["attach"]["name"] != "")
{
    $strFilesName = $_FILES["attach"]["name"];
    ...
}
