//html portion
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>ImageUpload</title>
</head>
<body>
	<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
		<label>Username</label>
		<input type="text" name="username">

	$image=$_FILES['myfile'];
	echo "Hello $user <br/>";
	echo "File Name<b>::</b> ".$image['name'];

	move_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name'],"photos/".$image['name']);
