Retrieve Attachment from Mailgun Form Post PHP

attachment, forms, mailgun, php, post

Solution

So I know this is a year late, but I had the same problem and figured out how to download the attachments. The files in the post are in stored in the environmental variable $_FILES. The information for each file will look something like:

Array
(
    [attachment-1] => Array
        (
            [name] => ATextFile.txt
            [type] => text/plain
            [tmp_name] => /tmp/php8zhmlU
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 70144
        )
)

The path to the file is stored in `tmp_name`, so in this case, `/tmp/php8zhmlU` is the full path to the file. `move_uploaded_file` will overwrite any existing files! To download all the attachments from the `POST` I wrote a function:

function download_attachments($pathToDownloadDirectory)
{
    foreach($_FILES as $file)
    {
        if($file['error'] == "0")
        {
            if(!(move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $pathToDownloadDirectory . $file['name'])))
            {
                return 0;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return 0;
        }    
    }
    return 1;
}

download_attachments("/Full/Path/To/Some/Dir/");
