For each entry a user creates, he should be able to give additional information, such as every kind of file (i.e. not only code files but also images etc). There is an <input type="file" ...> where he selects the file to be uploaded. The php-script is simply supposed to receive the file and put it into the proper database-column (which is a MEDIUMBLOB by the way, should be enough space, or what's your opinion?).
