Files don't go into $_POST - they go into $_FILES.

Yes, his problem is that the $_FILES is not being set, but there is some value in $_POST['userfile']. Kartikay, I was suggesting that $_POST['userfile'] may contain the file itself, not a filename. What does $_POST['userfile'] contain? Try var_dump()ing it. Rabin
