uploading file(of diff. type) with php

deo011

Hello everybody,
I am new to php/mysql and as experiment I want to write a module which can be used to upload files of different types(usually doc/pdf/ps) on the server and the information should be stored in mysql db, along with some other information. The another problem is, the filename, the users want to upload, may have similar names, so a random/unique extension is needed for each file.

    Can I get some ready-made programs to play with??

Best regards,
Deo

Deo,

Look in the thread of Sasman and you know how to upload a file. However I would never put an file in Mysql I rather advise you to add the path and filename in Mysql and retrieve the file via the stored path and filename.

I you you can't do anything with this script mail me and I send you a simple script.

look in the thread of ImEric12, you can append different name by choosing random number, or by tracking user names and appending an _username.ext onto that
