100% working Concept to send email with attachment in php :

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  extract($_POST);
  require_once('mail/class.phpmailer.php');

  $subject = "$name Applied For - $position";
  $email_message = "
Thanks for Applying ....
 ";

  $mail = new PHPMailer;
  $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
  $mail->Host = "mail.companyname.com"; // SMTP server
  $mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
  $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
  $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
  $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
  $mail->Port = 465;
  $mail->IsHTML(true);
  $mail->Username = "info@companyname.com";  // GMAIL username
  $mail->Password = "mailPassword";          // GMAIL password

  $mail->SetFrom('info@companyname.com', 'new application submitted');
  $mail->AddReplyTo("name@yourdomain.com","First Last");
  $mail->Subject = "your subject";

  $mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

  $mail->MsgHTML($email_message);

  $address = 'info@companyname.com';
  $mail->AddAddress($address, "companyname");

  $mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['file']['name']);      // attachment

  if (!$mail->Send()) {
    /* Error */
    echo 'Message not Sent! Email at info@companyname.com';
  } else {
    /* Success */
    echo 'Sent Successfully!  Check your Mail';
  }
}

I used this code for google smtp mail sending with Attachment....
