uploading file paths

[witham]

hi i am hoping someone can help me, I need to upload the path to a pdf file stored on the same machine. I have tried "file upload" but I can't seem to make it work. I will continue to try but I just need to establish if this is the correct piece of code to be using?

Thanks for you reply I have a database that contains various information input via a form this includes name, address and suchlike.

Below is the array I want to display but I need the "compfile" to display as a hyperlink to the file.

{


// $row["fieldname" returns the content for the field in the current row

   	echo "<tr><td>" .$row["MANNAME"].  "</td>";

   	echo "<td>"   .$row["prodtype"].  "</td>";

   	echo "<td>"   .$row["proddesc"].  "</td>";

echo "<td>"   .$row["prodnar"].	"</td>";

echo "<td>"   .$row["prodequiv"]."</td>";

echo "<td><a href=>"   .$row["compfile"]."</td></tr>";



}


// close html table tag
echo "</table>\n";

echo "<td><a href=>"   .$row["compfile"]."</td></tr>";

 

This wont point to anything as the hyperlink isnt there

 

dont you need something more like

 

echo "<td><a href="   .$row["compfile"].">Then something in here</td></tr>";

Just one more thing if I could ask how would I use an image as the link??

Just a note but don't forget to close the anchor tag or excape quote for the link

echo "<td><a href=\"".$row["compfile"]."\">Text Here</a></td></tr>";

 

for an image just replace the text with an image tag ie

echo "<td><a href=\"".$row["compfile"]."\"><img src=\"myimage.jpg\"></a></td></tr>";
