    where do i put it in this code~?

    
    <?php
    //define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb
     define ("MAX_SIZE","100"); 
    
    //This function reads the extension of the file. It is used to determine if the file  is an image by checking the extension.
     function getExtension($str) {
             $i = strrpos($str,".");
             if (!$i) { return ""; }
             $l = strlen($str) - $i;
             $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
             return $ext;
     }
    
    //This variable is used as a flag. The value is initialized with 0 (meaning no error  found)  
    //and it will be changed to 1 if an errro occures.  
    //If the error occures the file will not be uploaded.
     $errors=0;
    //checks if the form has been submitted
     if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) 
     {
     	//reads the name of the file the user submitted for uploading
     	$image=$_FILES['image']['name'];
     	//if it is not empty
     	if ($image) 
     	{
     	//get the original name of the file from the clients machine
     		$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
     	//get the extension of the file in a lower case format
      		$extension = getExtension($filename);
     		$extension = strtolower($extension);
     	//if it is not a known extension, we will suppose it is an error and will not  upload the file,  
    	//otherwise we will do more tests
     if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif")) 
     		{
    		//print error message
     			echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
     			$errors=1;
     		}
     		else
     		{
    //get the size of the image in bytes
     //$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] is the temporary filename of the file
     //in which the uploaded file was stored on the server
     $size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
    
    //compare the size with the maxim size we defined and print error if bigger
    if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
    {
    	echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
    	$errors=1;
    }
    
    //we will give an unique name, for example the time in unix time format
    $image_name=time().'.'.$extension;
    //the new name will be containing the full path where will be stored (images folder)
    $newname="images/".$image_name;
    //we verify if the image has been uploaded, and print error instead
    $copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname);
    if (!$copied) 
    {
    	echo '<h1>Copy unsuccessfull!</h1>';
    	$errors=1;
    }}}}
    
    //If no errors registred, print the success message
     if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors) 
     {
     	echo "<h1>File Uploaded Successfully! Try again!</h1>";
     }
    
     ?>
    
     <!--next comes the form, you must set the enctype to "multipart/frm-data" and use an input type "file" -->
     <form name="newad" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"  action="">
     <table>
     	<tr><td><input type="file" name="image"></td></tr>
     	<tr><td><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Upload image"></td></tr>
     </table>	
     </form>
