File Upload script - variable transfer problem

I am having trouble with a file upload script. Have tried a lot of
different methods and the problem boils down to the $_FILES variable not
being picked up. Below is a simple example of Upload2.php having a blank
value for $_FILES['userfile']['name']. I am using PHP through my web host
yahoo. I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to resolve this this.


<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="upload2.php">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>
You can see our new input file element in action - note that we give it the
name "userfile". Now, here is the accompanying PHP script, upload2.php,
which prints out a little information about the file just uploaded from
upload1.php:

<?php
print "Received {$_FILES['userfile']['name']} - its size is
{$_FILES['userfile']['size']}";
?>

Thought you only had a tempname until you moved it and gave it a new
name...which you haven't done yet. See the example:
