Answer 1

The problem of your script is that you are probably trying to upload a file higher that your limit is! You specified a really low max filesize! Print out your $_FILES var to get information about what's wrong ;)

However, in order to move the file to your folder you still need to use move_uploaded_file:

$allow = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png");

$todir = 'uploads/';

if ( !!$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] ) // is the file uploaded yet?
{
    $info = explode('.', strtolower( $_FILES['file']['name']) ); // whats the extension of the file

    if ( in_array( end($info), $allow) ) // is this file allowed
    {
        if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $todir . basename($_FILES['file']['name'] ) ) )
        {
            // the file has been moved correctly
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // error this file ext is not allowed
    }
}
