1) Has the file uploaded correctly?

2) Is it in the right place (i.e. in a subdirectory called upload which is in the same file as your script

3) Have you used $qry['ext'] = $_GET['file'] to set the value of the link?

 

4) Please post more code

after form submition this page will appear

<form method="post" action ="submit.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
  <br />Maximum Size is 100 KB
   <input type="file" name="file" style="width: 281px" /><br />
 <span class="style6"><br />
</span>
  <input type="submit" name="submit2" value="Attach"><br />

 

as you can see this is another form to upload file then i want to insert the file name to DB for download it later you know..

 

 $file_name=$_FILES['file']['name'];
  include("config.php");   
     $link=mysql_connect($server,$datauser,$datapass)
or die("connection faild becouse".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database)
or die("No database selected !".mysql_error());
$insert = mysql_query("insert into $table (ext) values ('$file_name')")
or die("Could not insert data because ".mysql_error());

 

so in the DB the name is appear as i want but i think the problem in the link above

yes i have upload folder and the file is existing there

many thanks
