$dbh = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die("There was a problem with the database connection.");
    $dbs = mysql_select_db("test", $dbh) or die("There was a problem selecting the categories.");

// Set up a list of acceptable file extensions.
// This keeps out malicious files

$acceptable_extensions[0] = "pdf";
$acceptable_extensions[1] = "jpg";
$acceptable_extensions[2] = "gif";
$acceptable_extensions[3] = "doc";
$acceptable_extensions[4] = "ppt";

// Check the uploaded file to make sure it's a valid file

$validated = 1;

if($_FILES && $_FILES['file']['name']){
           
    //make sure the file has a valid file extension
   
    $file_info = pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name']);
    $acceptable_ext = 0;
               
    for($x = 0; $x < count($acceptable_extensions); $x++){
                   
        if($file_info['extension'] == $acceptable_extensions[$x]){
            $acceptable_ext = 1;
                       
        }
    }
               
    if(!$acceptable_ext){
        $validated = 0;
    }  
}else{
    $validated = 0;
}

//Now that we're sure we have a valid file,
//we'll add it into the database

if($validated ){

    // Get important information about the file and put it into variables
  
    $fileName = $_FILES['file']['name'];
    $tmpName  = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    $fileSize = $_FILES['file']['size'];
    $fileType = $_FILES['file']['type'];

    // Slurp the content of the file into a variable
                   
    $fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
    $content = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
    $content = addslashes($content);
    fclose($fp);

    if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
        $fileName = addslashes($fileName);
     }
                   
    $file_info = pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name']);

    $sql = "INSERT INTO Files SET

$dbh = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die("There was a problem with the database connection.");
    $dbs = mysql_select_db("test", $dbh) or die("There was a problem selecting the categories.");

// Now, We'll check to make sure our $_GET variable is a number

if(!is_numeric($_GET['id']){
    echo "Invalid file chosen.";

// Next, we'll run a query on the database to get the file out

$sql = "SELECT * FROM Files
            WHERE Files.ID = ".$_GET['id'];

// Finally, we will send the file to the browser

$curr_file = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

$size = $curr_file['File_Size'];
