    I didn’t even know they were titled as attachments. I’ll look that up. Thank you for your time.

    HTML that lets user enter files on frontend:

    <html>
    <body>
        <form id="upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
        <input id="fileupload" name="myfile" type="file" />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" id="submit" />
   <?php
        $db = new wpdb('username','password','db','localhost');
        if( ! empty( $_FILES ) ){
            $filename = $_FILES['myfile']['name']; 
            $file_url = "https://website-name/wp-content/uploads/$filename";
            $url_exists = is_200($file_url);
            $sql = "INSERT INTO column (name, url) VALUES ('$filename', '$file_url');";

            if($url_exists){
                echo "This file already exists within the database.";
            } else{
                foreach( $_FILES as $file ) {
                    if( is_array( $file ) ) {
                    $filename = $_FILES['myfile']['name']; 
                    $file_url = "https://website-name/wp-content/uploads/$filename";
                    $attachment_id = upload_user_file( $file );
                    $db->query($sql);
                    echo "Your file has been added.";
                    }
                }
            }
        }
?>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

    PHP Function to upload files to media library: 

    <?php
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/image.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;
}
?>

    It works, but when I attempt to delete the files added with this method by using the media libary, the file still remains in the upload folder. (Sorry for late reply.)

    Okay I understand where there is an issue now.

    I added a sample.pdf to the media library and deleted it. It got rid of it from the uploads folder.

    I have a PHP shortcode that gives a file upload form and then submits it to the media library.

    I am unable to delete from library and upload folder for files that I added through my PHP shortcode. (Everything else about it is working fine.) Should I ask about this on a different forum then?
