You have two options:
1) Store it in a field with a BLOB data type. I really do not advise this in any way and is only listed as the first option because it pertains directly to your question.
SO has good coverage of this already Storing files in SQL Server
2) Move the file to a folder and store the file path. This is the preferred option by mmmm everyone. Use move_uploaded_file and if you are unsure of how to setup an html form take a look at W3C PHP File Upload
