Giving users the ability to upload a single file to my site?

Question

Hello...I'd like to give visitors to my site the ability to
upload files (photographs to be exact) and have them stored on my
server. I use Yahoo web hosting and I'd like to be able to limit
the size of the photo...any tutorials out there?
Thanks a bunch!

here's a script that might work; copy and paste in a
Dreamweaver document saved with .php extension
to see the code coloring. My comments are in yellow:
<?php
$path = 'uploaded_images/'; // this is the path where you
want the uploaded images to go
if (isset($_POST['Upload'])){
$error = '';
if(empty($_FILES['imagefile']['name'])){
$error .= '- You must choose an image file on your
computer<br>';
if($_FILES['imagefile']['size'] == 0 ||
$_FILES['imagefile']['size'] > 209715){//this is the
maximum size of the uploaded image, in bytes. (that's
equivalent to 2 MB, which is most probably way
more than what Yahoo will allow...
$error .= '- Image size MUST be under 2MB!!<br>';
if($error == ''){
$imagefile_name = $_FILES['imagefile']['name'];
//Upload------------------------------------
if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/jpeg" ||
$_FILES['imagefile']['type'] =="image/pjpeg"){
if(copy ($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'],
$path.$imagefile_name)){
echo 'The image has been uploaded';
}else{
echo '<span style="color:#f00">The image could not be
uploaded. Please click <a
href="'.$PHP_SELF.'">HERE</a> to try
again...</span>';
exit;
}else{
echo "<br><br>";
echo 'wrong file type ('.$imagefile_name.'). Image MUST be a
jpeg (.jpg or .jpeg extension)<br>
Please click <a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'">HERE</a>
and try again';
exit;
//-----upload end
}else{
echo '<p>'.$error.'</p>';
?>
<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input
name="imagefile" type="file"><input name="Upload"
type="submit" value="Upload"></form>
