When performing file uploads, an important and often overlooked characteristic
is the structure of the <form> tag. You must have
enctype='multipart/form-data' in the tag along with the method='post' and
action properties.
If this is not correct, you won't see anything in the $_FILES array. You
should try to display it before performing your if statement. Here is a basic
template:
<form method='post' action='script.php' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<input type='file' name='myfile'>
<input type='submit' value='upload'>
</form>
<?php
printf("<pre>%s</pre>", print_r($_FILES,true));
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name']))
{
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $destination_dir_name))
{
print "File succesfully moved.";
}
else
{
print "Failed to move file.";
}
}
?>

The other very common problem is that your web server (Apache?) running as a
non-priveleged user (apache or nobody) does not have write permission for the
destination directory.
