I'm not sure I can help, although I have done some work with a form that can
contain a link to an image and then display it in an HTML page which is
dynamically generated with a PHP script. And it also sends a copy of the
submitted information to me, but it is in plain text and only shows the
link, rather than the actual picture.

I will assume that the web page form is for submitting user information
which includes a "headshot", and the user just uploads an image to your web
server. And you want the form to be regenerated with that headshot and any
other updated information to provide feedback to the user. Then I would also
assume that his/her image and other information will appear in another web
page which may be something like a blog or discussion forum or a dating
site.

In this case, it seems unnecessary to have the formatted page emailed to
you, and it would be better to just receive a notification that the user has
submitted the information. Then you can go to the site and see if it is OK.
Even better, perhaps, if you have the new page in a private area where you
can approve or deny the submission. But it seems that you will need to have
the image and the information on your web server, unless you want to have it
on your local machine. And in that case, the user should just email the
image and other data to you directly.

It's difficult to give advice without knowing all these details, and then it
may or may not be a PHP issue. If you have a partially working site, or a
link to one that is similar, that will make it much easier and will
eliminate the guessing game and wrong assumptions that lead to dead ends and
wasted effort.
