Form doesn't see file uploader - php - php

Question

I'm attempting to build my first form/file uploader (I'm a newb fyi).
I am testing on a local server on my mac, both the form, file handler, and the uploads folder are in the same file directory with one another.
When I select a file using the submit form (test file is 'testFilego.txt' and 3 bytes in size'), i get the following error: http://localhost/PhP_exercises/__tizag/280-php-fileupload-test.php?MAX_FILE_SIZE=2500000&uploadedfile=testFilego.txt. The submit form doesn't seem to connect to the handler (?). I thought the test file would appear in my uploads folder. Help.
This is the submit form:
<form>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="280-php-uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2500000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</form>
This is the file hander the form ought to be contacting
<?php
280-php-uploader.php&lt?php
//This is '280-php-uploader.php'
// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "uploads/";
// Add the original filename to our target path.
//Result is "uploads/filename.extension"
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>

As Marco Acierno observed, i'd posted the form inside a form and that seems to have caused the problem.
