emailing sav files, wont work?

Mailing sav files wont work but when I change the extension of the file to .txt it does work.

See Below Script:

[code=php]//Attachment version of message
$extension=explode (“.”, file.sav);
$countdot=count($extension)-1;
$extension=$extension[$countdot];
$headers .= “–{$boundary}rn” .
“Content-Type: application/octet-streamrn” .
“Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64rn” .
“Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=”file.sav”rn”;
$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents(‘backup/file.sav)));
$headers .= “rn –{$boundary}–“;
}

if (!mail(“[email protected]”, “Test”, “”, $headers)) {
$erreur++; $erreurmsg.=’There was a problem sending your email please try again.<br>’;
} [/code]

(As part of bigger script that deals with all the headers etc…)

The above script sends a email to the email address, I can pick it up. Gmail shows the clip logo (attachment), but when I view the actual email no attached files are shown. However if I change this line:

[code=php]“Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=”file.sav”rn”;[/code]

to this:

[code=php]“Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=”file.txt”rn”;[/code]

the entire script works and I recieve the file but as a txt.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get sav files to be mailed. I have tried sending them using gmail (it works fine) and reading the mime but it is exactly the same as mine.

Please tell me whats wrong!
