Create either a script or a static HTML that creates a POST-method form on the page. Add an input of type "file" and some additional comment inputs of type text.

Then create a script which writes the file to the filesystem and enters the accompanying information into the tables. Have your form submit to that script.


Take a look at file uploads in the PHP manual, paying attention to the example code:

Take a look at PHP's PostgreSQL family of functions:
