How do I Edit a list of files associated with a product ?

| Hello,
-I wrote a script that you use it to add products in the database.
-Each product is associated with files.
-In the Form to add the product you have to enter the product name in a
textfield and below there are $no_of_add_file filefields.
$no_of_add_file is an integer that determines the Maximum number of
filefields that you want to associate/add for each product.
So it succesfully adds the product and the files in a database and the
filesystem.
The problem I am trying to solve is how am I going to edit those files in
the product.
If you know what I mean... and you have done something like that or you know
a url or script that does that, pls let me know.
What I need mostly, is not the PHP code but the logic and what are the
possible ways of doing something like that.
In the database i have two tables that this script needs:
One is the products and the other the files.
Products : product_id, product_name
Files : file_id, file_name, product_id
I hope that helps.

Angelos,
Just build an edit command with the selected file name and
execute it. Haven't tried it, but something along the lines of:
exec ( "vi" $filename )
This example would assume you are using the vi editor and that
you have stored the full path and name of the file to bne edited
in $filename.
Oh, you better check out the syntax for the exec command since
it has additional parameters. Also check out the system and
back tick commands.
