How do I allow a person to be looking at my site and click a 'upload a file' button, then they can pick a file from their computer and upload it to my website?

Php upload code example

// In PHP versions earlier than 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead

$uploaddir = '/home/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
echo '

you dont upload files using a browser but firefox has an extension that lets you ftp your files to your host. much better if you use filezilla.
