There's so many things that need changing with your code I can't explain it all here. All I can say is go to http://www.php.net/ and look at the file uploading instructions.

1) check the enctype in your FORM tag, it must be like

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

2) use the move_uploaded_file() function instead copy()
