OK, then you need to do this in 3 steps. I'll give you pointers to
what you need to do, but you'll need to write that exact code your
self.
The first step is to present an upload form, fairly simple.
The second step is to process the file upload using PHP. There's an
exacmple of both of these steps at http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php.
Once the file has been uploaded and you have the name and location of
it from the first part of your upload script, then you can write that
into your database using mysql_query() - http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php
Please have a go at writing the code, but if you get stuck, then come
back to us.
Robert.
