I think you forgot to add enctype="multip art/form-data" in the form , thats why you the function always returned false, try this.

<form action="" method="POST" enctype="multip art/form-data">
<input type="file" name="sfile" id="sfile">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

Multipart/Form-data is used when you have an inputfile control in your form, basically it is to facilitate that upload of binary data.


Enctype (encoding type) specifies the media type of the underlying data.
