When I run mytest.php I get the following message, but nothing shows in the database.

echo "pls wait some one have downloaded the file until he uploads you have to wait";

My database setup:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `uploadedfiles` (

  `ID` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

  `filename` varchar(30) NOT NULL,

  `path` varchar(100) NOT NULL,

  `size` int(11) NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY  (`ID`)

) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=ascii AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

mytest.php:

<?php
?>
<a href="filedownload.php?fileid=1&path=/./download/&filename=master 2000 thru 2005.xls"><b><u><font size =4>Download master 2000 thru 2005.xls file</b></u></font></a></center>

Dbcon.php:

<?php
$dbname = 'xxxx';
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","xxxx","xxxx") or die("Couldn't make connection.");
$db = mysql_select_db($dbname, $link) or die("Couldn't select database");

filedownload.php:

<?php

$file_id = $_REQUEST['fileid'];

include "Dbcon.php";

$rs = mysql_query("select * from uploadedfiles where fileid = $file_id and downloaded = 1");
if (mysql_affected_rows() == 0) {
      mysql_query("update uploadedfiles set downloaded=1, downloadedtime = 'somedatetiem' where fileid = $file_id");
      $dir="path";
      if (isset($_REQUEST["filename"])) {

      } else {

      }
