Uploading files as part of a form

I am building a website for my church and one of the pages needs to have an upload page where the sound engineer can upload the sermon mp3's and powerpoint slides. This needs to be done as part of a form submission so that the sound engineer can also add the name of the sermon, name of the speaker, and an automatically generated download link which will then be stored in a table on a MySQL database.

 

Is this possible? What would the code be for the upload boxes (considering I need 2 upload boxes in the one form).

 

Thanks in advance.

I have got as far as getting the form made with the 2 upload buttons and once submitted I am at the testing stage so I am storing all the elements in variables and echoing them to make sure they've worked, however, anything to do with the $_FILES doesn't echo. Can anyone help?

 

Here's my code... (I have also tried it with ' ' around the stuff in square brackets)

<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
</SCRIPT>
<link href="/joomla/templates/at_flexmen/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>

$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name, $conn) or die(mysql_error());

if ($_POST[viewed] != "yes")
{

Ok, I'm now trying to move the file to the directory I want, and I have put an IF function so that if the file uploads, it displays a message saying the file uploaded, but even though I'm getting that message, the file is not where it should be.

 

Here's my code...

<html>

<head>

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>

<link href="/joomla/templates/at_flexmen/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($db_name, $conn) or die(mysql_error());

 

if ($_POST[viewed] != "yes")

{

echo "<form name=\"form1\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"$SERVER[php_SELF]\">
