sorry to ressurect an old thread but I am having a similar issue, i have spent all morning looking for tutorials to deal with file uploads (.doc / .pdf in particular) i am wanting to store the location of the uploaded file in the database along with other information as these files are being uploaded with the intention of letting users download them to be read at there leisure, however all tutorials I have found have been storing the actual file in the database. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

TIA folks :)
