how do you upload file and INSERT them into the database

[sayimcrisp]

I am trying to be able to upload a video, the name of the video, an image/thumbnail , and and a description and INSERT it into the database.

I am new to this but it doesn't seem like a hard code to write, but...I'm having absolutely no luck of course.
I know how to go about putting the actual video in the database (I think) but I actually want to just put the file path in the database and not the file itself. I've been browsing the internet for hours trying to figure this out with no luck, anyone here know some code I can use to go about doing this? any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you show us what you tried?

The "name" of a file is nothing more than a string. So if you can take your favorite string:

$data = "Hello World!";

and INSERT it into a DB, then you already know how to store the name of an uploaded file in there as well.
