Here you're using $_POST['uploadedfile']. I'd guess it should probably
be $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], which is the name of the file that
was uploaded.

Here you're using $_FILES['uploadedfile'], which would be an array.

And $_POST['Link'] ='' will always be true because it is giving
$_POST['Link'] the value ''.
