Error in PHP file uploading

Question

Now, I am getting another problem. I am trying to upload file with this code :-

<form action="up.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="200000" />
    Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload!"/>  
</form>

Here is the up.php:-

if(!isset($_FILES["uploadedfile"])) die("No file found");

In the above code, it says "No file found". why isn't it having the file?

You need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form.

<form action="up.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Add enctype="multipart/form-data" to form tag

<form action="up.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="200000" />
  Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload!"/>
</form>
