--> Currently from what I can see there are a few problems:
--> 
--> The Form:
--> 
--> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<? echo 
--> $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];?>" method="post"> Send this file: 
--> <input name="userfile" type="file"> <input type="submit" 
--> value="Send File"> </form>
--> 
--> action is not essential if the form is sending to itself 
--> (okay, maybe thats just me being lazy :p). However, you 
--> missed out a vital field
--> 
--> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="Maximum 
--> file size in bytes">
--> 
--> This needs to appear just before the file upload input. It 
--> tells PHP what the biggest size of file to accept is. 
--> Without it, no file will be uploaded! Remember to change 
--> the value to an actual number
--> 
--> Upload Script
--> 
--> You should be using $_FILES array when uploading a file.
--> 
--> $_FILES["userfile"]["name"] - Orginal name of the file 
--> uploaded, given by the user
--> 
--> $_FILES["userfile"]["error"] - Variable that contains an 
--> error report. If something goes wrong, a number will get 
--> put in here. 0 - Upload was okay 1 - The uploaded file 
--> exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini. 2 - 
--> The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that 
--> was specified in the html form. 3 - The uploaded file was 
--> only partially uploaded 4 - No file was uploaded
--> 
--> $_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"] - This contains the 
--> location and name of the file which was uploaded
--> 
--> $_FILES['userfile']['type'] - The type of file that was 
--> uploaded (See link below for more info!)
--> 
--> $_FILES['userfile']['size'] - The size of the newly uploaded file
--> 
--> For more infomation visit 
--> http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
--> 
--> It is important to check the error number before you try to 
--> move the file. Also, rather than checking for 'post', check 
--> for $_FILES['userfile']['name']
--> 
--> If you still have problems, email the list again with your 
--> error message/code. Good luck
-->
