HTML/PHP File Upload Not Receiving

Question

So I posted an earlier question here: upload

And I tried the solutions but now no matter if it's the correct filetype or not, it just says "invalid file". Here's my html:

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="my_iframe">
    Select a file: <input type="file" name="upload">
    <input type="submit">
</form>

And here's my upload_file.php:

$allowedExts = array("doc", "docx");
    $extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["upload"]));

    if (($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000)
    && in_array($extension, $allowedExts)) {
        if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
        {
            echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
        }
        else
        {
            echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["upload"] . "<br />";
            echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
            echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
            echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

            if (file_exists("Proposals/" . $_FILES["file"]["upload"]))
            {
                echo $_FILES["file"]["upload"] . " already exists. ";
            }
            else
            {
                move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
                "Proposals/" . $_FILES["file"]["upload"]);
                echo "Stored in: " . "Proposals/" . $_FILES["file"]["upload"];
            }
        }
    } else {
        echo "Invalid file";
    }

I've also tried:

$extension = pathinfo( $_FILES["file"]["upload"], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

And did a

die($extension);

On both of them but nothing gets printed. So I have two questions
1) What is wrong with my above code
2) How do I hide the iframe until I receive a response? and then have like a okay button on it to make it go away once the user has read the response? Here's the iframe code if it helps:

<iframe name="my_iframe" src="upload_file.php"></iframe>

Change

$_FILES["file"]["upload"]

To

$_FILES["upload"]["name"]

Everywhere, and same with the other references.. So;

$_FILES["file"]["size"] **To** $_FILES["upload"]["size"]

And

$_FILES["file"]["type"] **To** $_FILES["upload"]["type"]

And

$_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] **To** $_FILES["upload"]["tmp_name"]

Search and replace $_FILES["file"] with $_FILES['upload'] should do the trick

You have:

if (($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000) && in_array($extension, $allowedExts)) {

It should be $_FILES["upload"]["size"] because you have

<input type="file" name="upload">

Change

$_FILES["file"]["size"]

to

$_FILES["upload"]["size"]

and do the same for all other vars, the name attribute of your input file is upload, not file, according to your HTML:

<input type="file" name="upload">
                  HERE ----^
