Hi.

Line 6
[code=php]
// This...
$extension = $extension[extension];
// Should be...
$extension = $extension['extension'];
[/code]
Array elements should always be quoted
Except maybe when used in strings, but thats an entirely different discussion.

Ac couple of suggestions...

You could create an array containing the valid extensions and use the in_array function to search it for you.
Would get rid of the extra for loop there.

You seem to use $HTTP_POST_FILE S and $HTTP_POST_VARS arrays ever now and then throughout your code.
They are both deprecated and should not be used.
The $_POST and $_FILES super-globals should be used instead.

Are you seriously using PHP 2?! I don't believe you! :P
That was released in like 1996, while it was still just a one man operation.

If that is the case... update to PHP 5!
I doubt anybody can help you if you are really using PHP2. It's just way to old.
