get the file: $attachment = $_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'];

get the file name: $attachment_name = $_FILES['attachment']['name'];

add the file to mail: $mail->addAttachment($attachment,$attachment_name);

If you're using the $_FILES array, the file is already uploaded to the server (usually in /tmp), so your question doesn't really make sense.

I understand what you mean, though. You want to send it as an attachment without moving it to a more permanent location. This can be done easily using
file_get_contents($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name']);.
