You don't build your own MIME emails. Use PHPMailer or Swiftmailer, which do almost everything for you. You can replace you entire script with about 5 or 6 lines of code.

And best of all, they'll give you far better error messages/diagnostics than the pathetically stupid mail() function ever will.

Also The Geekmail PHP library makes it easy to add attachments to emails

die(mysql_error());

or

die($mysql_error);
