One option is to make it a Media Image attributea and add it to the Images group in the attribute set. This way the file uploading part is handled automatically by Magento and it also gives you the ability to resize, crop etc etc the image using the catalog/image helper.

So let's say your Image attribute is called awesome_image you would resize it like this on the frontend

echo (string)Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'awesome_image')->resize(150);

[EDIT] If you do want a new attribute for this. Check out this question on Mage SE. Or optionally, if you don't want to code give this extension a try. I've used it once before. It works pretty well.

I just edit file path like

 $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media').'/foo/';

instead of

$path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') .DS. 'foo'.DS ;

That's All. Now Its working well

                        <?php $values = explode(',', $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code'])); ?>
                        <td class="data">

                            <?php endforeach; ?>
                        </td>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php if ($_data['code'] != "certification_mark" ): ?>
