The same way you upload images you can upload other files.

if you wrote your previous script to only handle .jpg .gif or image formats you can change it around so it can handle all extensions

if you uploaded a file, $_FILES["filevalue"]["type"] gives you back your file's type. If you upload a word doc, its type is application/msword:

$allowed_types=array(
"image/jpeg",
"image/gif",
"image/png",
"text/plain",
"application/msword",
"application/vnd.ms-excel");

how to check it its allowed:

if(isset($_FILES["filevalue"]["type"]))
{
if(! in_array($_FILES["filevalue"]["type"] , $allowed_types))
{
die("You need to upload word/excel/plain text/ images only");
}
}

yes their is the same way to like upload images as well upload file on the server you have to get the properties of the file

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($_FILES['img']['tmp_name']);
