I was just wondering if anyone could help out with what should be a fairly simple fix (obviously not for me) for a contact form with image upload. The image DOES get uploaded to the temporary folder, but doesn't appear when I receive the email into my account.
I think the form is nearly there, just can't figure out why the image is not attatching to the email when i receive it - guessing the problem is somewhere in the last 10 lines of code.
I would really appreciate if someone could figure what's going wrong.

Your mail headers are wrong, you need to use MIME to define the different content types (The body of the email and the attachment).
I have some code somewhere that I use for emailing uploads, if this isn't answered for you in about 10-20 minutes I'll try and find it for you.
Good luck!
I managed to dig up the code! It's not the cleanest code ever but it gets the job done. There will be a few tweaks you will have to do as this was originally written to email CSV files, but I've commented it all as much as I can for you.
//The recipient(s) who will receive this email.
$mail_recipients = 'example@email.com';
//This is the subject line of the email.
$mail_subject .= 'A new CVS has arrived!';
//This is the emails body.
$message .= 'A new CVS file has been generated and sent to you, please find it attached to this email. <br />';
//This is the full path to the file you want to attach.
$full_path = '/example/path/file.csv';
//The file type of the attachment.
$file_type = 'text/csv';
//Create a file handle to open the file.
$file = fopen($full_path,'rb');
//Read all of the files contents into a variable.
$data = fread($file, filesize($full_path));
//encode and split the contents.
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
//Close the file, we don't need it anymore!
fclose($file);
//Create a unique boundary
$new_boundary = md5(time());
//This is your basic header information such as who the email is from and the date it was sent.
$mail_header .= 'From: CSV Admin <noreply@website.co.uk>' . "
";
$mail_header .= 'Date: ' . date('r') . "
";
//This part of the header first defines to the email client that it is a multipart message and adds the emails content/body.
$mail_header .= 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="' . $new_boundary . '"' . "
";
$mail_header .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
$mail_header .= 'This is a multi-part message in MIME format' . "
";
$mail_header .= '--' . $new_boundary . "
";
$mail_header .= 'Content-Type:text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"' . "
";
$mail_header .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit' . "
";
$mail_header .= $message . "
";
//This part of the header is for the attachment and includes the contents of the file, the files name and other information.
$mail_header .= '--' . $new_boundary . "
";
$mail_header .= 'Content-Type: ' . $file_type . '; name="' . $file_name . '"' . "
";
$mail_header .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . "
";
$mail_header .= 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file_name . '"' . "
";
$mail_header .= $data . "
";
//This is needed to stop any rendering errors by email clients and signifies the end of the emails header.
$mail_header .= '--' . $new_boundary . '--' . "
";
//This mails out all of the above.
mail($mail_recipients, $mail_subject, '', $mail_header);
//And we should be done!
You have three distinct errors:
mail function are incorrect.file_get_contents.$mime_boundary = md5(time());
$headers = "From: $email
";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
";
$headers .= "--".$mime_boundary."--
";
$message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
";
$message .= "--".$mime_boundary."--
";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"
";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
";
$message .= "
";
$message .= "$body
";
$message .= "--".$mime_boundary."--
";
$message .= chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])));
mail($webMaster, 'email subject text', $message, $headers);

Like the guys said your content type is incorrect and you have:
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($temp_file)));
$tmp_file = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
It should be
$tmp_file = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($temp_file)));
