Picked from the http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp

File 1:

<!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">
    <input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

File: upload.php

<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($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;
    }
}
?>

Let me know if it does not suffice

MR SALIL ELABORATE FOR ME THE USE OF foward slash in the above php script.
on $target_dir="uploads/";
Its the linux way of directory or file separator. I think in windows it is "\"

The status bar will show progress insuring the user doesn't click out and close the browser etc allowing the documents to upload. Once completed it then emails the form results and the attachments to the predetermined email address.
