Answer 1

You should save the files in some folder during the upload process and save the name of file in database, so later you can call the name of file from database and link it as a hyperlink to download, i am using the following code to upload images in a folder called files and saving the name of files in database. At the end i have the file name in variable $newname

    if ($_FILES['file']['name']) {

        $allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
        $temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
        $extension = end($temp);
        if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
                || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
                || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
                || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
                || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
                || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
            && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 500000)
            && in_array($extension, $allowedExts)
        ) {
            if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
                echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "
";
            } else {
                $ext = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
                $filename = current(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
                $newname = $filename . '_' . time() . '.' . $ext;
                move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
                    "files/" . $newname);
            }
        } else {
            echo "
Image type or size is not valid.
";
        }
    }
