 * Hello.
    I’m still newbie in this WordPress things. Sorry for my bad english, 
   english is not my first language. Currently i’m working, and i need to explore
   this WordPress. And now I’m stuck somewhere that i couldn’t understand. Hope 
   u guys willing to help me. 🙂
 * I’m using **contact form 7** and **contact form db**.
    First i build a form where
   i can upload a file(mp3, mp4, flv, avi, and such) straight to my C directory.
   And I’m using contact form db, to record the details of whatever file i upload
   to the database **phpmyadmin**.
 * **In phpmyadmin**, its only shows name, email, file name, file upload name, and
   such. But how if i want to show the URL of the file that i upload at my computer
   C directory?
 * **For example like this link:**
    file:///C:/xampp/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/
   uploads/wpcf7_uploads/0487827367/Avicci-Wake-Me-Up.mp3
 * I need that link to show up in the phpmyadmin.
    **Thanks for your help 🙂**

 * When CF7 uploads a file, it puts it in a temporary director, puts the file in
   the email to you then deletes the file. CFDB grabs a copy of that file and puts
   it in the database. No file remains on you disk after the form submission completes.
 * The CFDB administration page shows the form submission data. Files are shown 
   there with a link to download them from the database. If you display the form
   submissions using a short code such as [cfdb-table] then the short code will 
   display the file names with a download link.
 * If you want to save files to your disk instead, please see [this article](http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=794).

 * The example code that was given, save the path of the directory to the database.
   That article help me solve the issue 🙂 Thank you.
 * But do you know how to show the url of the file that i uploaded to the database?
 * **For example:**
    [http://www.your-site.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_uploads/video.mp4](http://www.your-site.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_uploads/video.mp4)
 * Thanks 🙂
