uploading prob

Hi guys,

can somebody give me an idea what have i done wrong ??? it displayed "Error : Possible file upload error" as my output..

my code:
<head>
<title>
Uploading ....
</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1> Uploading file .. </h1>
<?
if($userfile == "none")
{
echo 'Error : No file uploaded ';
exit;

}

if($usefile_size == 0)
{
echo 'Error : Uploaded file is zero lenght';
exit;
}

if($usefile_type != "image/gif")
{
echo 'Error : Incompatible file detected';
exit;
}

if(!is_uploaded_file($userfile))
{
echo 'Error : Possible file upload error';
exit;
}

$upfile = $userfile_name;

if(!copy($userfile, $upfile))
{
echo 'Error : Could not copy the file';
exit;
}

echo "File uploaded <br><br>";

$fp = fopen($upfile,"r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize ($upfile));
fclose($fp);

$contents = strip_tags($contents);
$fp = fopen($upfile, "w");
fwrite($fp, $contents);
fclose($fp);

echo "preview of uploaded file contents: <br><hr>";
echo $contents;
echo "<br><hr>";
?>
</body>

everything looks okay for me but why i still get this error when i upload gif file.. i have changed to text/plain and upload text file but error still occured (display "Error:Incompatible file detected") My code just doesn't work at all...

is there any website i can go to refer to what i suppose to use when i wanna upload a word doc, excel file and etc .. (i mean like image/jpeg , text/,,,, )

You should use $_FILES global.
Some info:

$_FILES['userfile']['name']
The original name of the file on the client machine.

$_FILES['userfile']['type']
The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. An example would be "image/gif".

$_FILES['userfile']['size']
The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file.

$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file was stored on the server.

$_FILES['userfile']['error']
