Now i have another question, How upload a pdf and ms word file into a database and then retrieve the files for upload????

[nona1]

// I was able to upload files but I don't know to make them links for download

//To upload use this:

// make an html file with this form:

<form method="POST" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<b>Upload your file here</b><br/>
<input name="userfile" type="file">&nbsp;
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload" style="width: 150px">
</form>

//and the php file must look like this:

"upload.php"

$target="img/";
$target.=$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$target);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO dbo.dbname(upload) VALUES ('".$target."')") or die( mysql_error());
echo "Upload done";

Into the DataBase make a table with a field text named upload for this exemple


For download I wait an answer pls!!!

you can download pdf file by using this code in two stage:
1- your first file download.php and it contain the following code:
<?php

// place this code inside a php file and call it f.e. "download.php"
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/your_path/"; // change the path to fit your websites document structure
$fullPath = $path.$_GET['download_file'];

if ($fd = fopen ($fullPath, "r")) {
$fsize = filesize($fullPath);
$path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
$ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);
switch ($ext) {
case "pdf":
header("Content-type: application/pdf"); // add here more headers for diff. extensions
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); // use 'attachment' to force a download
break;
case "doc":
header("Content-type: doc"); // add here more headers for diff. extensions
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); // use 'attachment' to force a download
break;
default;
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\"");
}
header("Content-length: $fsize");
header("Cache-control: private"); //use this to open files directly
while(!feof($fd)) {
$buffer = fread($fd, 2048);
echo $buffer;
}
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;
?>
2- the scond stage make another file named it example and write on it the following code:

<a href="download.php?download_file=some_file.pdf">Do wnload here</a>
