I think I get what you want to do, do you want to have a form on a webpage,
where you specify the path of it on that pc, and then be able to upload it
to a folder on the server. Then, you store the details, such as original
filename, current filename, location etc. in the database.

I know this is possible, but I've never managed to do it myself. Try looking
in PHP and MySQL, it's by Larry Ullman and is published by Peachpit Press.
There is something towards the back of the book about file uploads, and it
gives an example of a solution like I explained above
