Change this line to indicate your directory:

[php]
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"../robin1/".$FILES["file"]["name"]);
[/php]

Something like

[php]
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"C:/wamp/www/practices/".$FILES["file"]["name"]);
[/php]

should work depending on your server setup and where the script is running from.

Dear robin1983,
Your upload code is perfectly except one line is:
[PHP] move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"../robin1/".$FILES["file"]["name"]);[/PHP]
Where is your "practices" folder? Is it the same level with your coding file or not? If "practices" folder stay at same level at your php file you only have to change your code like this:
[PHP] move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"practices/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]);[/PHP]
or you can tell me exactly where is "practices" folder, comparing with your php file. I'll tell you its path.

Good luck
