attachment with mail()

[joecamel83]

I have a e-mail script that has data posted to it. The data that's posted is basic contact info along with a png image that's in base64 string. my question is how do i write the code to send this png image thats in a base64 string as an attachment. my current code is below. thanks in advance.

<?php
   $senderName = $_POST['senderName'];
   $senderEmail =  $_POST['senderEmail'];
   $sendToEmail = "[e-mail]";
   $subject = $_POST['emailSubject'];
  $emailMessage = $_POST['emailMessage'];
  $senderPhone = $_POST['senderPhone'];
  $senderStreet = $_POST['senderStreet'];
  $senderCity = $_POST['senderCity'];
  $senderZip = $_POST['senderZip'];
  $base64data =$_POST['base64data'];

   $recipient = "$sendToEmail";

   $headers = "From: $senderEmail ";

   $message = "From: $senderName, \nPhone: $senderPhone\nEmail Address: $senderEmail\nStreet: $senderStreet\nCity: $senderCity\nZip: $senderZip\nSubject: $subject\n\nMessage: $emailMessage\n\n $base64data";
   $message = stripslashes($message);

   mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers)
?>

don't use mail() is way under powered, loot in to one of the 3rd party libraries.
