Quick question about forms

[dsjoes]

i have got this code:

// *** Read the value of "Download" (POST or GET method).
if (isset(($_POST['Download'])) $fileName = $_POST['Download'];

if (isset(($_GET['Download'])) $fileName = $_POST['Download'];

// *** Build the link string.
$downloadLink = "<a href=\"$fileName\">Download</a>";

 

but i not sure what i need to do with it (i did not write it)

 

i don't know if it goes with my form or the insert script here they are.

this is the form

<form action="insert.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="Name" /><br />
Message: <input type="text" name="Message" /><br />
Download: <input name="Download" type="text" /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" /></form>

 

and this is the insert script

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("host","user","password");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
mysql_select_db("b32_5584692_Docs", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO Docs(Name, Message, Download)
VALUES
('$_POST[Name]','$_POST[Message]','$_POST[Download]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
echo "Record added";
header('Location: upload_test.php');
mysql_close($con)
?>

We don't really know what you need to do with it either unless you describe the problem you hope to solve with it.

i am trying to make my form easier to use.

 

i have a upload form on the admin part of my site so i can upload word docs and after i have done that i use this form to give the information in a table and a link to open/download the doc. but at the minute i have to type this in the download part of the form everytime.

 

 This
<a href="test.doc">Download</a>
in here
Download: <input name="Download" type="text" />

 

so i am wanting to be able to just type the name of the doc in and the form makes it the link for me.
