Jinsi ya Kutengeneza PDF Upload na Download Function

PDF upload & download system inaruhusu:

Users kupakia PDF files kwenye server.

Users kupakua files zilizopakiwa.

Management ya documents (reports, forms, manuals).

Usalama muhimu:

Validate file type (PDF pekee).

Validate file size.

Store files securely na rename ili kuepuka overwrite.

⚙️ 2. HTML Form ya PDF Upload

Upload PDF

accept="application/pdf" inasaidia browser filter.

enctype="multipart/form-data" lazima iwe.

🧩 3. PHP Script ya PDF Upload (upload_pdf.php)

10 * 1024 * 1024){
die("❌ Error: File too large. Max 10MB allowed.");
}

// Move file
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pdf_file']['tmp_name'], $target_file)){
echo "✅ PDF uploaded successfully:

";
} else {
echo "❌ Error uploading PDF.";
}
}
?>

💡 Maelezo:

time() . "_" . $original_name inazalisha unique filenames.

Validation inazuia files zisizo halali au kubwa kupakiwa.
