<form **action="upload.php"** method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
specifies that the form will be submitted to upload.php
if you want the form to submit to the same file that the form
is in then you can do that with ...
<form action='' method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Maybe you have named your file upload.php ?
I believe that you would learn more by following this example ...

and putting the html and the PHP in separate files
How to get php code to run only after I press submit on html form?
Here is the code from my php file:
[code]
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action=”upload.php” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>
Select image to upload:
<input type=”file” name=”fileToUpload” id=”fileToUpload”>
<br><br>
<br><br>
Submit:
<input type=”submit” value=”Upload Image” name=”submit”>
</form>
<?php
$target_dir = “www.google.com”;
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES[“fileToUpload”][“name”]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST[“submit”])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES[“fileToUpload”][“tmp_name”]);
if($check !== false) {
echo “File is an image – ” . $check[“mime”] . “.”;
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo “File is not an image.”;
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
I want the php to run only after I have loaded a file and pressed the submit button. How do I do this?
