Alright, let's do this:

  1. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. It is a markup language, similar to HTML to store general data.
  2. You put those two files on the root (main) directory on a webserver.

  3. The code you posted up top isn't the complete contact form HTML. Use the whole code from the tutorial.

    <div id="container"> <form action="process.php" method="post" id="my-form" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <p>E-mail<br /> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" /></p> <p>File<br /> <input type="file" name="upload" id="upload" /></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p> </form> </div> <div id="output"></div>

  4. Don't name your files similarly, or you won't know which one is which 2 weeks from now. For example, use index.html for the form page and upload.php for the processing page.
  5. Otherwise, just follow the directions of the tutorial.

You might also want to check out this tutorial, I think it is a bit more clear:
