TUTORIALS on how to Upload Files To Database

Hi.

I noticed a different tutorial about uploading files to the server but I wanted to do one with more security stuff and with a different method. I personally like uploading files from a database designer better as it makes file management easier (delete, move, better control of who can download it, and you can store more information along with the file, like WHO uploaded it) plus people cannot execute files in the database as they can on your server (at least I have yet to hear of a case like this). I personally use MySQL, but there shouldn't be much of a difference between it and other databases. If you already have experience with PHP/MySQL, this should be real painless and suprisingly easy! If you don't, it's still much easier to grasp than uploading to a server (the 'tmp' folder stuff tends to throw people).

I'm going to do this tutorial as simply as I can - but you can add as much as you want...I'll talk a little bit about things you can do when I get to those parts!

Thanks!!

Jess
