Here is an example script that I used. It's was taken from php freaks.com

Form page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Browse a File to Upload: <i>file must be 1MB or less. (1048576 bytes)</i><br>
<input type="file" name="filetoupload"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="echo $size_bytes; ">
<br>
<input type="Submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
</body>
