This works great, how do i do this and when the email is sent the boby of the image is sent in HTML format?
Hi I could really use your help. This code works great, however if I dont attach any image or attach less than 3 images ( given my contact form has 3 file type input) the form doesn't gets submitted. What logic can I use to achieve that? so the code works even when no images are chosen or less than 3 or for that matter any amount? Thank you
Hi, could this work with WordPress by adding it above the <?php get_header(); ?>
hey good job!
how can i do this with an < input multiple > ?
Thank you !
