Hi I would like to point out before I get into this that I am a PHP newb, and I have been struggling for a while. I'm trying this new script, but I got an error every time I did upload file.

Warning: file_get_contents(): Filename cannot be empty in C:\Users\user\Desktop\xampp\htdocs\ubfm\d2.php on line 18

<?php
// Check if a file has been uploaded

        $dbLink = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'upload');
        if(mysqli_connect_error()) {
