phpmailer - How to send multiple attachment in single mail in php

Question

I would like to know about attaching multiple attachment in single mail and send . Please refer my following oode. In this only one file is getting attached. That is second file. First file is not at all considering for attaching. But file is being created properly in the path specified.

$filename=array($filenamee1 ,$filenamee2);
    for($x=0;$x<count($filename);$x++){
        echo $path.$filename[$x];
    $file = $path.$filename[$x];
    $file_size = filesize($file);
    $handle = fopen($file, "r");
    $content = fread($handle, $file_size);
    fclose($handle);
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
    $name = basename($file);
    $header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">
";
    $header .= "cc: ".$mailtoCC."
";
    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
    $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="".$uid.""

";
    $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
";
    $header .= "--".$uid."
";
    $header .= "Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
";
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

";
    $header .= $message."

";
    $header .= "--".$uid."
";
    $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="".$filename[$x].""
"; 
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
";
    $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="".$filename[$x].""

";
    $header .= $content."

";
    $header .= "--".$uid."--";
}
    if (mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {
        echo "<br>mail sent Successfully... OK"; 
    } else {
        echo "<br>mail send ... ERROR!";
    }

Following the reusability principles, you can use https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer;

$mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com';  // Specify main and backup server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'jswan';                            // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret';                           // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted

$mail->From = 'from@example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('josh@example.net', 'Josh Adams');  // Add a recipient
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz');         // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg');    // Optional name                               

$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

if(!$mail->send()) {
   echo 'Message could not be sent.';
   echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}

echo 'Message has been sent';
