PDF file document upload to appear on different members own page

[yiaggi]

Hi guys,

 

I have created a php script (with alot of help from others) that allows me to have a login area on my website. When the user logs onto their page - they obviously cannot see the others profile.

 

My next task is to be able to upload PDF documents to appear on their profiles. The PDF's will be specific to them.

 

The main problems I have are:

 

1/ They cannot be able to view any PDF but their own.

 

2/ How do I create a form that knows where to send and display the link? I guess it is using the user id & name etc?

 

I will not actually be the one uploading the files else I would just sit and tediously link each form to each profile. This must be done by my secretary via a file upload form that I will password protect.

 

I basically want her to be able to log in and be presented with a document upload form. The form will have a dropdown list of the clients name and a document upload part. From uploading it will then appear on the users page. 

 

If anyone could help it would be amazing! I am fairly new to PHP although am getting better with my understanding. Hopefully I will become as good as you lot one day!

 

Cheers in advance
