PHP mail with attachment error

Question

I have had problem with the code below. I don't know what might be wrong, but I hope you figure this out or a simple way I can send email with attachment... When I sent a try message, it sends something like this in the headers of the message...

--244f3f04128cb4e6797d0019662a1aaa Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="phpStorm.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="phpStorm.txt" QW1iZXIgVG93bnNlbmQNCg0KNTQzMDQ1LTE4MDIyMDEzDQowMDAwMXh3Smg1blJxU0hVTEVkVFpR TmZIRWF6SXUNCmc2bTRnTE1QOTZOMlFPVnpWckphZ0Y1cmpzZm9zTQ0KMmk0ZkFDQnVZV2MzMDlO cCFXb05kRW1EcnpWcVBi

CODE BELOW:

<?php

    //file attachment
    $strSid = md5(uniqid(time()));
    if($_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"] != ""){
    $strFilesName = $_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"];
    $strContent = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES["fileAttach"]    ["tmp_name"])));
    $headers .= "--".$strSid."\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$strFilesName."\"\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$strFilesName."\"\n\n";
    $headers  .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; ";
    $headers .= $strContent."\n\n";

    if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
    echo "<div class=\"message_success\">Your message has successfully been       sent</div>";//echo 'Your message has successfully been sent';
    } else {
    echo "<div class=\"message_error\">Message failed to sent, try again</div>";
    }
    }

?>
