[SOLVED] PHP Mail Help

[will35010]

I'm creating an online card script for a non-profit hospital. I have the html part complete where the user picks the card and types their info. It then sends it to this script as post data. If the user picks print, I want it to email the person at the facility for printing and delivery. If the user picks email, I want it to email the patient using the form data email info. On both emails, I want it to attach the image the user has chosen.

 

I'm trying to attach an image from a file to an email based on the post data received. For example if the user picks the baby card ($baby), it would attach the jpeg from ../cardtemplates/baby.jpg and email that as an attachment.

 

I'm pretty sure I can get the email part working, but I'm lost on how to attach an image from a file. I googled and everything I found seemed very complex or the wrong file types. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something like this:
