im trying to implement uploading via a meta box without using the media manager, but i want it to add as a post attachment.

im currently doing it just uploading and saving to the server.

<?php

define("THUMB_DIR", WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins/meta-upload/thumbs/'); 
define("THUMB_URL", WP_CONTENT_URL . '/plugins/meta-upload/thumbs/'); 

// this needs to be implemented

function fileupload( $label ) { ?>
<tr>
    <td class="left_label"> <?php
        echo $label; ?>
    </td>
    <td>
        <form name="uploadfile" id="uploadfile_form" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $this->filepath.'#uploadfile'; ?>" accept-charset="utf-8" >
            <input type="file" name="uploadfiles[]" id="uploadfiles" size="35" class="uploadfiles" />
            <input class="button-primary" type="submit" name="uploadfile" id="uploadfile_btn" value="Upload"  />
        </form>
    </td>
</tr>  
 <?php
}

//this needs to be added too

function fileupload_process() { 
$uploadfiles = $_FILES['uploadfiles'];
