<?php
$dbhost = 'hostname';
$dbuser = 'database username';
$dbpass = ' database password';
$dbname = 'database name';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql');
mysql_select_db($dbname);

if(isset($_POST['upload']) && $_FILES['userfile']['size'] > 0)
{
$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
$fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
$content = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
$content = addslashes($content);
fclose($fp);
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
}
/*
echo "<br/>".$fileName;
echo "<br/>".$fileSize;
echo "<br/>".$fileType;
//echo "<br/>".$content;
*/
$query = "INSERT INTO table_name (name, size, type, content ) VALUES ('$fileName', '$fileSize', '$fileType', '$content')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');

mysql_close($conn);

echo "File $fileName uploaded";
