    Just a sample from the joomla docs:

    <?php
    
    //Retrieve file details from uploaded file, sent from upload form
    $file = JRequest::getVar('file_upload', null, 'files', 'array');
    
    //Import filesystem libraries. Perhaps not necessary, but does not hurt
    jimport('joomla.filesystem.file');
    
    //Clean up filename to get rid of strange characters like spaces etc
    $filename = JFile::makeSafe($file['name']);
    
    //Set up the source and destination of the file
    $src = $file['tmp_name'];
    $dest = JPATH_COMPONENT . DS . "uploads" . DS . $filename;
    
    //First check if the file has the right extension, we need jpg only
    if ( strtolower(JFile::getExt($filename) ) == 'jpg') {
       if ( JFile::upload($src, $dest) ) {
          header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/administrator"); Redirect to a page of your choice
       } else {
         echo "error !"; //Redirect and throw an error message
       }
    } else {
       echo "Wrong extension !"; //Redirect and notify user file is not right extension
    }
    
    ?>
