Try This:

index.html

 
 
 
 

 Choose a file to upload: 

 
 
 
 

upload.php

if(isset($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"]) && ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["size"] < 5000000)){
      $sourcePath = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];
      $file = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'];
      $targetPath = "/uploads/".$file;
      if(move_uploaded_file($sourcePath,$targetPath)){
      echo "The file: ".$_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']." has been uploaded";
   }else{
      echo "Looks like it failed.";
   }
}else{
   echo "You forgot to select a file, or the file size is too large.";
}

So what this does is checks if a file exists and checks if it's smaller than 5MB. If so it moves on to the upload part.
