PHP insert/update record with file upload

[Guest]

I used Dreamweaver's Insert Record wizard to make a php/mysql page. In this Insert Record application I would like to have a File Field that uploads a file to an "upload" directory on the website and adds the file name to the database as text (not the entire path C:/Mydocuments etc., just the file name). How do I do that? Thank you.

Dreamweaver won't automate it for you. You either need to buy a
commercial extension (DMXZone, WebAssist, and Adobe Dreamweaver
Developer Toolbox all offer paid-for solutions), or you need to roll
your own. My book, "PHP Solutions" has detailed instructions for
uploading files in a secure manner. Alternatively, you can learn all
about PHP file uploads free of charge from the PHP manual:
