Uploading visitors file to my site

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is the right forum, but I had a question about uploading files. Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am a serious newbie!
Here is what I want to do. I am doing a website where people can upload their MS Word files and PDF files from their computer and I will review them. I don't want them to be displayed on my website. I just want them to be able to do that "browse" and it will search their HD and upload what they want.
I got the basics of the webdesign down, but I have no idea how to do this.
I am using Dreamweaver and have yahoo for my host.
I guess my question is, how do I enable something on my website to do this?
Thanks so much for any help.

Thanks for your quick response. I am really in a bind.

I went to Yahoo and it says that it does support php, but not asp.

Again, thanks so much for any help!!

Yes, that did point me in the right direction. Thank you.
I am still looking to see once the file is uploaded, where I can find it.
I am guessing somewhere in my file manager. Not sure because I have never done anything like this before..

Thanks again for your help.
I appreciate it.

Go by the rule, if its specified in the script, its there. if not it will drop the file in the same directory as the script.

OK, I will do that. Still reading about the SQL. This is all so new to me.
Thanks again.
