php mail function headers with attachment

Question

I'm not sure why but this has suddenly stopped sending out emails. I have tried to test the email server using mail("[email protected]","test","test message"); and it sends it fine. I have a feeling something is wrong with my headers?

I have tried to send it with and without attachments but it is not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

<?php

extract($_POST);

$dir    = '../uploads/';
$files_temp = scandir($dir, 1);

foreach ($files_temp as $key=>$value) {
  if (strpos($value,$file_id) !== false) {
      $files[] = $value;
  }
}

// send

Looks like my code wasn't the problem. It was an issue with mailing it from [email protected]. Changed $from variable to a gmail email address and it started sending emails again.
