PHP mailing attachments (form processing?)

I'm starting to go nuts on this one. I can get PHP to mail a form's
contents, but I can't get it to send a picture (using the "file" input
in a form). I've looked around at various mail scripts, but none of
them accomplish this either.

Either the mail gets through minus any attachment, or, in my initial
version the email *said* there was an attachment but it gave an error
message when trying to open it.

What I've been trying to do is understand the MIME format... putting
it together as the last variable passed in the mail() function.

The best I can get is a string containing the local address of the
image sent in the form.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Please?
