Jerry told you the reason, and here is (sort of) solution. Execute php
code only when page was POST requested (meaning that the form was submitted)
to do so simply wrap your php code in one more if...
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
$uploaddir = "uploads/";
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['upfile']['name'];
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'])) {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);
print("File upload was successful");
} else {
print("File upload failed");
}
print_r($_FILES);
}
?>
That should work... :)
