Handling file uploads:
http://ca2.php.net/features.file-upload
To get the whole think into a database, you'd use the file and mysql commands,
but the general consensus seems to be don't save binary files in the database
unless you have a really good reason. Could you just keep the file in a non-web
accessable folder and use something like readfile(), possibly in conjunction
with some kind of authentication system?
