File Upload Handler
/upload.php :
<?php
$tempFile = $_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileName = $_FILES['myfile']['name'];
$fileDestination = __DIR__."/uploads/".$fileName;
copy($tempFile, $fileDestination);
unlink($tempFile);
Note :
An /uploads folder must be created beforehand.

I would add error handling including a line to check if the uploads directory exists first.
This is not a tutorial. It is a dangerous example of how to do things wrong. Just delete it.
This is just an experiment with the language, not a tutorial, so it's not about being right or wrong.
