How do you send an email attachment using php3?

You can use the mail() function, however you leave the body empty 
and put all the content into the headers.

e.g.

mail("dave@example.com","info about mailing","",$header_contents);

where $header_contents is a properly mime encoded message (for
full details see the following rfcs)...

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2046.html
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2048.html
... and about 10 others...

However there is a nice class which encapsulates this behavior at the 
PHP code exchange...

It allows the sending of text, html and attachments...
