uploading and using images in a block

uploading and using images in a block

Hi

Im trying to build a small block that shows an image as icon just before the title.
I want to use the filemanager to upload the image.

Im using this code in my edit_form.php file:
 $maxbytes = 12222;
  $mform->addElement('filemanager', 'config_attachments', get_string('attachment', 'block_webbog'), null,
                array('subdirs' => 0, 'maxbytes' => $maxbytes, 'maxfiles' => 50,
                 'accepted_types' => array('.png', '.jpg'), 'return_types'=> FILE_INTERNAL | FILE_EXTERNAL));


in my block_name.php file i have made a print_r on the $this->config and it shows

stdClass Object ( [title] => header [text] => Array ( [text] => text [format] => 1 ) [attachments] => 612502805 )


So i guess this is my image encoded ? [attachments] => 612502805

But how do i show / use the image in the block content?

Its suppose to be used as a icon for the block along with the title - like this http://screencast.com/t/Ewg0mURG5PMw in navigation.

I have tried reading the file API

Please help
