If I'm understanding what you're asking, I can help you out with the first part (the uploading a file) - the part about incorporating it into your database, is a bit out of my realm.
I tried finding the page that originally helped me out when I was looking to create a pdf/doc upload page, but these pages look closest to the one I used.

Hello,
I would like to create a digital drop box for my students. I use Dreamweaver (but prefer MS Word) and MySql.
What I would like to do is create a password protected webpage. On the webpage I would like to have a "Submit File" button where a pop-up would occur allowing them to choose the file off their computer to send to my database. Can anyone suggest how I could make a simple page like that? Or better yet, any kind soul that thinks they could help out an over-worked, burned-out 8th grade teacher!

Thanks for any help.
