Hi,

You must use the following in your <form ...> tag

enctype="multipart/form-data"
<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" method=\"post\" onsubmit=\"return
chkform()\" name=\"form\" enctype="multipart/form-data">

This is used to tell your browser the POST include image file not only
text. Hopes this help.
