Hi blackflow,
Make sure your php.ini file is set up correctly.
You need to have file_uploads = On
and an upload_tmp_dir.
file_uploads = On
upload_tmp_dir = /usr/home/myname/myfiles
One approach would be to do a simple file upload and see
if that works. W3schools has a nice sample program to do
a basic file upload.
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_file_upload.asp
Try that first.
Then, in the upload_file.php program they provided, try adding in
a call to the move_uploaded_file function.
Gradually, try to replace their upload_file.php program
with your upload.php (as much as you can).
The way the file transfer works is the file gets uploaded to the upload_tmp_dir
you specified in your php.ini file; it has some temporary name.
Then the call to move_uploaded_file moves that file to your target directory.
The following link discusses this in detail (See PROBLEM 2)
Chap 2 - Avatars and uploading files, (would apply to Chap 6 too)
The idea is to verify that you can move the files you want to upload
to the correct destination directory.
Now, I am not quite clear on what you are seeing on your
screen. Do you have a row of buttons along the bottom?
Is one of those buttons an upload button? When you press
the upload button it will output to the screen a text field, a browse
button, an Ok button and a cancel button. Do you see this
on your screen? If so, then when you browse for a file and click the okay
button, you should see the file appear in the window above.
The file should also be in the target directory.
There was an error in chapter 6. Getting around it is
discussed in the following link. I know you said you read it,
but for other readers, it is.

I hope this helps.
