<input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

<?php

// check if a file was submitted
if(!isset($_FILES['userfile']))
{
    echo '<p>Please select a file</p>';
}
else
{
    try {
    $msg= upload();  //this will upload your image
    echo $msg;  //Message showing success or failure.

I take it that you're on Windows. If so, you may have to manually "switch it on" in php.ini.

I think it's a case of uncommenting:

;extension=fileinfo.so

to

extension=fileinfo.so

I may be wrong though. Restart Apache too.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/fileinfo.installation.php

Ver 3.5.2.2

restrated many time but same result

Are you using php 3.5.2.2 or 5.3.2.2 ??

upgrade your xampp to the latest version. Otherwise, you can use image_type_to_mime_type() function.

alrady upgated.

In php.ini search php_fileinfo.dll
You will find this:
;extension=php_fileinfo.dll

Delete ; from front, save the file and close. Restart Apache server.
