I have a custom page template. This template have a custom form, the user can upload a file in that form and input his/her personal infos. The file will save in the file system.

I want to create a download link for each file and display it to a table row with the other values from MYSQL. I already have a PHP snippet that will display the personal infos from MYSQL to a table rows.

Now I want to display the download link to the file that the user uploaded with their personal infos.

And how to rename the filename of the upload file? E.g. lastname_firstname.docx

Can you help me with this? My snippet for creating a link is not working.

Here's the function:

To upload a file:

function upload_user_file($file = array()){
    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/admin.php');
      $file_return = wp_handle_upload($file, array('test_form' => false));
      if(isset($file_return['error']) || isset($file_return['upload_error_handler'])){
          return false;
      } else {
          $filename = $file_return['file'];
          $attachment = array(
              'post_mime_type' => $file_return['type'],
              'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($filename)),
              'post_content' => '',
              'post_status' => 'inherit',
              'guid' => $file_return['url']
          );

          $attachment_id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment, $file_return['url']);

          require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php');
          $attachment_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $filename);
          wp_update_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $attachment_data);

          if(0 < intval($attachment_id)){
            return $attachment_id;
          }
      }
      return false;
}

To create a link (Not working):

$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; //returns the current URL
$parts = explode('/',$url);
$dir = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($parts) - 1; $i++){
        $dir .= $parts[$i] . "/";
    }

echo '<td id="message"><a href="' . $dir  . $file . '">Download</a></td>';

Form:

<?php
$locations="";
$timestamp = date('Y-m-d G:i:s');

$locations = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT location FROM tablename ORDER BY location ASC', OBJECT);
?>

<div class="resume-form">

as per chat discussion, once you get the attachment ID you can get the url using

 wp_get_attachment_url($attachment_resume_id) 

so in your case you have to

 wp_get_attachment_url($record_s->attachment_resume_id)
