Preview for files on MySql Query

Hello Experts,

I'm running a simple query to display data from forms onto HTML pages.  

I'm looking for a way to display a "preview" of the file that's getting uploaded using the forms. Forms have these fields: Date, name, author, description and upload file (files are stored on database).  The type of files that are getting uploaded are: PDF, DOC, XLS, JPG, GIF, MPG4 and SWF.

The idea is that on the HTML pages, other than the other info,  visitors are also able to see a small "preview" of the uploaded file.

How can I do this? Thanks!

Maybe generating a thumbnail images per upload with PHP or any other server side script would be an alternative?
