Input type file not working, why? Options

[Gerry Roston]

I am beyond confused. Here is a some of my html code (which I copied using my browser’s ‘show source’ capability). Very simple.

CODE

<div style="width: 40%; float: right;">
  <label style="position: absolute; top: 250px;">File with new logo:</label>
  <input style="position: absolute; top: 280px;" type="file" name="LogoFile">
</div>

In my code, I have some PHP to gather the data that is inputted and store it in a database. The code works just fine. However, I added two lines to the code:

CODE

echo "checking filename:  ";
echo $_FILES['LogoFile']['name'];

and the filename comes back empty, despite my having selected a file. Even weirder, the code used to work, but only stopped working once I moved the code into the <div> and added the style stuff. I suspect that I am missing something trivially easy – can you please point me to a solution.
