What you're describing, on the surface, sounds fairly simple, but as
I'm sure you're learning, to be truly effective requires some fairly
sophisticated programming. With that said, my first question would be
how are your user accounts set up? Right now, your script merely
uploads a file, but it does nothing to associate the file with the
user's account. You either need to set up some sort of database for
storing user data and file associations, or you need a file naming
scheme to identify which files belong to which users. Perhaps you can
use that as some kind of foundation to give us a better idea of what
it is exactly you intend to accomplish.
