PHP SCRIPT:
<?php
// Check if a file has been uploaded
if(isset($_FILES['uploaded_file'])) {
// Make sure the file was sent without errors
if($_FILES['uploaded_file']['error'] == 0) {
// Connect to the database
$dbLink = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'fileUP');
if(mysqli_connect_errno()) {
die("MySQL connection failed: ". mysqli_connect_error());
}
// Gather all required data
$name = $dbLink->real_escape_string($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
$mime = $dbLink->real_escape_string($_FILES['uploaded_file']['type']);
$data = $dbLink->real_escape_string(file_get_contents($_FILES ['uploaded_file']['tmp_name']));
$size = intval($_FILES['uploaded_file']['size']);
// Create the SQL query
$query = "
INSERT INTO `file` (
`name`, `mime`, `size`, `data`, `created`
)
VALUES (
'{$name}', '{$mime}', {$size}, '{$data}', NOW()
)";
// Execute the query
$result = $dbLink->query($query);
// Check if it was successfull
if($result) {
echo 'Success! Your file was successfully added!';
}
else {
echo 'Error! Failed to insert the file'
. "<pre>{$dbLink->error}</pre>";
