well with text and tables and other HTML formatting, but when trying to
send IMG tags, my images aren't getting displayed.

to send HTML to a browser where the HTML includes IMG tags with links to
image files? If I need to set up the filepaths with variables I can

You need to use absolute URLs for the images.

Still, some mail programs and webmail sites disable remote image
displaying by default as images may be beacons to spy on users.

ALternatively you can embeded images in the actual HTML messages and
they always display properly. That is done with MIME multipart/related
messages. You may want to take a look at this MIME message class that
can be used to compose messages with embedded images. It comes with an
example named test_html_mail_message.php that shows exactly how to do that:
