Hi there i would like to add an upload feature to my form i have a basic form

1. name
2. email
3. comments

but i would like to add the upload feature in the same form, i think this is the code but i do not know the right way to do this

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload</title>
<body>

<?php

$uploaddir = '/home/username/public_html/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}

?>

</body>

my question is, should i work this piece of code as apart .PHP file or try to insert it the .PHP file of my form actual form.

Thanks in advance

If I understand your question correctly, you can have the html form and php script on the same page. Just use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] as the form action, and then use conditions to either process form data or display html form.
