Hy I have a password policy project from my university which is almost complete but I have to ask a question. I made sign up, login, profile and renew password page which work very well but now I have decides to add upload and download file option where user can upload his/her personal file like .doc or .pdf file.
I want to decide to upload and download file option on user profile page. In that project I use php, mysql and other.
So my question is if I add upload and download file option on user profile page I have to use php only or php/mysql both, to implement upload and download file on user profile page.

What I have tried:

I made a simple sign up, login application using php/mysql

For uploading file only you need to use PHP.
But for maintaining information regarding file u need MySQL.
For example for one student the Student Id 1 and he or she uploading a ProjectFile.pdf
then you need to upload a file in a unique location (alternative you can rename file) with following information in database
1. StudentID : 1
2. FilePath : ../Assets/Upload/<Some Random String>/ProjectFile.pdf
3. FileName : ProjectFile.pdf

Now at the time of download scan file from MySQL Tables.
Get the File Path and Start Download file for End User.

I hope i am able to resolve your query.
