You have to specify the post method on the form
<form name="adduser" id="adduser" method="post" class="form-horizontal form-bordered" action="{$ROOT_OBJECT}/addpointtypetodo/save" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Files cannot be uploaded to PHP using the GET method, which is the default method for submitting forms.
