request help with image upload

Hi

I am trying to create a script to upload an image.

There are 2 php files : g_input.php and g_upload.php

g_input.php has a <form> which allows me to browse for an image, enter a
title, description etc.

The form action is "g_upload.php"

g_upload.php echoes the title and description just fine, but won't do a
thing with the image file. I tested with

isset($_POST['imagefile'])

and it is not set.

Presumably there is "something else" I have to do to make this actually
happen, but I've baffled myself by reading too many tutorials / examples /
descriptions. I am probably overloking something obvious I need to do -can
anyone tell me what it is?

Thanks

1. Enctype your form correctly.
2. $_FILES instead of $_POST.

Thanks! Looks like point 2 was it. You have saved me a headache.
