Change the <FORM> method to PUT.

I have enever heard of a form method put, but then again there is a lot I haven't heard of! Usually I set a variable for my upload path

like
$upload_path = "C:uploads".$userfile_name;
if (copy($userfile,$upload_path)) {
print "file uploaded";
}
else {
print "error";
}

My mistake, you need to mock up your .htaccess and/or httpd.conf for PUT support... anyways, try this out:

<form method="POST" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="filename" type="file">
<input type="submit">
</form>

and in your upload.php, have this:

<?php
if (copy($filename,$DOCUMENT_ROOT.$filename)) {
echo "Success!";
} else {
echo "Failure.";
?>

And after that, your uploads should work fine.
