Problems with file upload

[metal]

I am currently building a website as a project. The web site needs to upload files to a database. I am using blobs to create my code. The code enters all the information about the file eg, name, file type, etc but it does not physically upload the file. The code I have entered is displayed below. I would assistance if anyone could shed a light on what I am doing wrong  :-\

 

<?php

include("connection.php");

$connection = connect();

 

$strDesc = $_POST['strDesc'];

$fileUpload = $_POST['fileUpload'];

$fileUpload_name = $_FILES['fileUpload'] ['name'];

$fileUpload_size = $_FILES['fileUpload'] ['size'];

$fileUpload_type = $_FILES['fileUpload'] ['type'];;

 

// Make sure both a description and

// file have been entered

 

if(empty($strDesc) || $fileUpload == "none")

die("You must enter both a description and file");

 

fopen($fileUpload, "r");

//$file_contents = fread($fp, filesize($postfile));

$file_contents = file_get_contents($fileUpload);

//fclose($fp);

 

 

 

$dbQuery = "INSERT INTO myBlobs VALUES ";

$dbQuery .= "(0, '$strDesc', '$file_contents', '$fileUpload_type')";

 

 

mysql_query($dbQuery) or die("Couldn't add file to database");

 

echo "<h1>File Uploaded</h1>";

echo "The details of the uploaded file are shown below:<br><br>";

echo "<b>File name:</b> $fileUpload_name <br>";

echo "<b>File type:</b> $fileUpload_type <br>";

echo "<b>File size:</b> $fileUpload_size <br>";

echo "<a href='getfiles.php'>Add Another File</a>";

 

?>

For this line,...

$file_contents = file_get_contents($fileUpload);

.... Reading the php manual, i think u need to supply the filename itself to file_get_contents not the POST info.

 

echo 'Folder temporarily uploaded to(make sure this path correct) ='. $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][0];

$file_contents = file_get_contents($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][0]);

 

//maybe delete file when done unlink($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][0]) ;
