OK. To be more clear, I have a form in which the user fills in some
information and uploads a headshot. the email is formatted the same as
the form except I want the image to appear next to the information
instead of attached. The info is down the left side and the image on
the right. There is more info under all of that.

I used Forms to Go to create the original form handler. The id for the
image is $FTGheadshot. Simply placing that into the html output section
(like this: headshot : $FTGheadshot<br />) just gets me the file's name
in the space for the image.

Looking at the code, now that I have learned a little more about it, I
am thinking that I should put this: $_FILES['headshot']['tmp_name']
there instead. Would that be right? Isn't that the part that connects
the actual file with the FTG assigned variable?

Previously it said: $FTGheadshot = $_FILES['headshot']['name'];

Am I on the right track with this?
