    I need to find the url of the inserted image uploaded via front-end submission. When I do a print_r I just get the temp name and name for $_FILES, but not the url of the image. Here is the code relating to the image upload and further down the array of $_FILES. Thanks

    function insert_attachment($file_handler, $post_id, $setthumb = 'false') {
        if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();

        require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
        require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
        require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');

        $attach_id = media_handle_upload( $file_handler, $post_id );

        if ($setthumb) update_post_meta($post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $attach_id);
        return $attach_id;
    }

    if ($_FILES) {
        foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) {
            $newupload = insert_attachment($file, $pid);
        }
    }

//If I run a print_r on $_FILES I get this:

    Array
    (
        [file] => Array
            (
                 [name] => arrow-nav.png
                 [type] => image/png
                 [tmp_name] => /Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phpaH5GZE
                 [error] => 0
                 [size] => 0
            )

    )

    In case anyone needs this, here is my solution:

    if ($_FILES) {

        function insert_attachment($file_handler, $post_id, $setthumb = 'false') {
        if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();

        require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
        require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
        require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');

        $attach_id = media_handle_upload( $file_handler, $post_id );

        //get url
        $attachment_url = wp_get_attachment_url($attach_id);
        add_post_meta($post_id, '_file_paths', $attachment_url);

        $attachment_data = array(
            'ID' => $attach_id
        );

        wp_update_post($attachment_data);

        if ($setthumb) update_post_meta($post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $attach_id);
        return $attach_id;

    }

        foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) {
            $newupload = insert_attachment($file, $pid);
            //getting the url for the new upload
            $attachment_url = wp_get_attachment_url($newupload);
        }

    }
