Solution

  • You have set $check5=1 when allowedExtensions is true. Next to it, you check file_size. When your file_size > 5MB, check5 was not reset or change. So if your attachment is proper & file_size > 5mb system will try to send email with attachment (which you don't want) as check5==1. So to stop it you need to set check5=0 when file_size > 5MB.

    Please update your code like :

    if($file_size > 5000000){
           $fileErr .= "Max allowed size is 5 MB";
    } else {
            $check6 = 1;
            array_push($files,$file);
     }
    

    Hope this is clear
