Wordpress file/image uploader in plugin

Hi Experts!

I need some simple wordpress file upload code, something like regular file uploader in Wordpress, but I want to include it in my plugin.

Thanks.

Thanks, but I can't use someone else's work in my plugin, I'm looking for some 'standard' file upload code used in Wordpress plugins, I don't need anything fancy.

Don't know why, but nothing displays, I've done exactly what they say on that page, but no results:

            global $post;

            $download_id    = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'document_file_id', true);
        
            echo '<p><label for="document_file">Upload document:</label><br />';
            echo '<input type="file" name="document_file" id="document_file" /></p>';
            echo '</p>';
        
            if(!empty($download_id) && $download_id != '0') {

        }
	add_action('save_post', 'custom_field_document_upload'); //I called the function here, is it the right way?
