How do you add a button which opens a page in a pop-up window

I am working on a PHP file upload, but I want the button which opens my uploading page to open it in an pop up window. So it would be like many sites do it, press a button and It opens a pop up where you can upload files.

Here is a code that I tried and it didn't work:

<a href="upload.html" target="_blank">
<input type="button" class="button" value="Upload" />

Try making the input type="file". Example: input type="file" name="myFile"

If you want to style/change the default button you can by doing so...
read this> custom file upload button

Also close your a tag if your still going to do it that way.

You have to use type=file

<a href="upload.html" target="_blank">
<input type="file" class="button" value="Upload" />
