Server-Side Development PHP

Please am working on a form that has upload section, which is meant to upload strictly word document but am having issues with the code, it’s like I have messed up the whole stuff, dont even know where to check. Can somebody help with a full script that I can just implement and get out of this till am able to figure out the error in mine. Tks for the response

Sorry, I was saying the best practice for your database will be not to store the image as a blob, it takes up so much space.

My example is a generic one, modify it to suit.
