You use:

<form action="yourscript.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="thefile" />  <---your "browse" button
<input type="submit">
</form>

As for the server-side handling script, this site is littered with TONS of examples on how to handle uploads, so I won’t bother posting links.
