Re your question... open both your images and drag one onto the other.
It will be added as a separate layer. Resize your canvas to accommodate both images and then use your "move" tool to put them both in place.
Wendy is right. I hope you don't mind my specifying a bit...
I first open both images in Photoshop, and then I check whether they are both the size I want. If not I adapt. (check whether both are at the same % also).
Then I Look at the one I want to add to the other and decide whether it has to be beside, above or under (vertical) of the other. I also note its dimensions in File Menu>Image Size. If I want it beside the other one, the width is important. When they have to be vertically arranged it's the height that I note.
I go back to the other image and choose Image>Canvas size, and enter either the width or the height in the appropriate box so as to make the canvas wider or higher. Then I go to the square with the arrows and click on the arrow where the image I'm now working with should be. Example: if I want the other pic on the left, I click the arrow on the right, pointing to the left, so that what I add will be added on the left. Click OK.
Now I see that I can see both images in the workspace (In Winwdows the middle icon top right), take the Arrow tool (top right in the toolbox) , click on the image I want to import and drag it unto the other one with the extra space. It will open on a new layer as you can see in the Layers palette.
Like Wendy wrote, you now can drag this image-on-the-layer on the empty space that you prepared for it. You can also nudge with Ctrl+arrows on your keyboard.
When it is perfectly placed, you can now click on the right pointing arrow/triangle at the top-right of the layers palette and choose Flatten Image. If it's for the web, you can save for web and choose jpg or gif.
Wendy,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I still cannot do it. When I open one image by going to file-open. I get the image ok. When I open the other image it does not appear on the same workspace but on a different one. Bacically I cannot get both images on the same workspace. Any ideas please. By the way the images are JPG maybe they have to be PDF.

Okay... to make it easier, maclochlainn . Open both your images and check out their sizes (minimize their windows) and create a new file to incorporate both of them. From there... drag or copy the images to your new file. If you need further assistance via a graphical pictorial, I will be more than happy to supply same. Let me know!
I open new workspace. I open two images, drag them onto workspace and place one on top of the other. No matter what I do next they dissapear. Please what do I do next. I can do this job very easily on Word or even in Dreamweaver just by inserting the images using Insert-Image. Why is it so difficult in Photoshop. Sorry for taking so much of your time.

It seems to me that there's something wrong with your version of Photoshop. How hard I think, I can't come up with any reason why anything would disappear when you drag one image to the workspace of the other [confused]
Placing two or more images side by side.
