Hi,

good idea to implement file upload support.

Here is a pice of code I use for FE-Upload, may be it helps for integrating 
a working solution.
My snippet is not perfect, it's based on pi_base and estimates input-fields 
named $this->prefixId[file][]

function getUploadedFiles($count,$maxsize=1024000) {
    $this->fileFunc=t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_basicFileFunctions');
    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++) {
        if($_FILES[$this->prefixId]['tmp_name']['file'][$i]!='' && 
$_FILES[$this->prefixId]['size']['file'][$i]<$maxsize) {
            $fI = 
t3lib_div::split_fileref($_FILES[$this->prefixId]['name']['file'][$i]);
            $destFile=$this->fileFunc->getUniqueName($this->fileFunc->cleanFileName($fI['file']), 
$this->uploadDir);
            t3lib_div::upload_copy_move($_FILES[$this->prefixId]['tmp_name']['file'][$i],$destFile);
            $newFiles[]=basename($destFile);
        }
    }
    return $newFiles;
}
