Patrick, Apparently this is only part of your php code. I see an 'else' but not an 'if'. I also note you are sending two form tags. Most browsers will consider the second form tag as ending the first form. Include the method attribute with the first form tag, and delete the second tag. This should allow your users to upload a file.
