Retrieve File Url from Upload Form When Form is submitted

I have the following code in my form.

function video_subtitles_menu() {     //print "video_subtitles_menu 1";exit;   $items = array();   $items['video_subtitles_test/upload'] = array( //this creates a URL that will call this form at "examples/form-example"     'title' => 'Upload Subtitle', //page title     'description' => 'Uploading subtitle for videos',     'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', //this is the function that will be called when the page is accessed.  for a form, use drupal_get_form     'page arguments' => array('video_upload_subtitles_form'), //put the name of the form here     'access callback' => TRUE   );       //print "video_subtitles_menu 2";exit;   return $items; } 

function video_upload_subtitles_form($form, &$form_state) {  $form = array('#attributes' => array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'));  $form['video_name'] = array(     '#title' => t('Name Of the video'),     '#type' => 'textfield',  );   $form['sub_file'] = array(         '#type' => 'file',         '#title' => t('Upload video'),         '#size' => 48,         '#description' => t('Pick a video file to upload.'),     );  $form['submit_button'] = array(     '#type' => 'submit',     '#value' => t('Submit'),       );  return $form;  } 

function video_upload_subtitles_form_validate() {   if(!file_check_upload('upload')) {     // If you want to require it, you'll want to do it here... something like this:     form_set_error('upload', 'File missing for upload.');   } } 

function video_upload_subtitles_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {  $video_name = $form_state['values']['video_name'];//I am able to get this   $file = file_save_upload('sub_file', array()); print "<pre>";print_r($file);// no response here  drupal_set_message(t('The form has been submitted.'));//this also not printing  } 

On the submission handler, it only returns the text field, I don`t get anything from file upload field, when I use file_save_upload.

This is the response which i get in firebug, I have tried uploading text and excel file. Firebug

What I am trying to do is create a block where you can upload a file than I need to get the url to upload it to CDN but how to get the link of file at form submission.

I am using Drupal 7 by the way.
