Upload files in PHP and move url link into MYSQL database

I am currently using a php form to update data into a mysql database. Am unsure how to use a php script to upload a file and copy the url link into the mysql database

Heya, Updesigns. Welcome to TSDN!

Simply use a variable to keep track of where you're moving the file and then store that variable's value in your database:

$target = '/path/to/new/dir/' . makeSafe($_FILES['inputName']['name']);
.
.
.
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['inputName']['tmp_name']), $target);
.
.
.
$_sql = "INSERT ... '{$target}' ...";
 

the makeSafe() function above would reference whatever input validation procedure you had defined to make a file path safe (escapes or removes special chars, removes '../', etc.).
