I can't figure out what's causing this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PUBLIC
It says the error is occuring on the second line of this code (public function upload($uid = 'public').
//--> Uploads the file
public function upload($uid = 'public')
{
//Get file details
if(isset($_GET['ajax']))
{
if(!$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_SIZE'] > 0) return false;
$filename = strip_tags($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_NAME']);
$file_type = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_TYPE'];
$size = round($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_SIZE']/1000, 3);
}
else
{
if($_FILES["files"]["error"] > 0 or empty($_FILES)) return false;
$filename = strip_tags($_FILES['files']['name']);
$file_type = $_FILES['files']['type'];
$size = round($_FILES['files']['size']/1000, 3);
}
//FF null type fix

You are defining function public.
The public is a keyword for Object Orieneted Programming.
But, as per your code, there is no class defined, therefore, there is no use public keyword.
Just remove the public keyword.
Corrected code:
function upload($uid = 'public')
