I have no experience with flash what so ever. I'm building a CMS with PHP where you can upload image files. I would also like to be able to upload flash movies to the database and then output them to a webpage. How do go about doing this? Wich "accept" am I gonna use on the input element, and what, if any, information can I extract from the .SWF-file?

mm... if your going to upload multimedia files, it is simplier and less database intensive to upload the the file and store the name of the file in the database. So the name of the file points to the file on the server. There are plenty of tutorials on file uploads with php, just google it.
I've been Googleing it, and I have a hard time finding anything that deals with .swf-files. Do you have any suggestions on articles or sites?

Flash's mime type is application/x-shockwave-flash
You can get information with http://php.net/getimagesize or http://getid3.sourceforge.net
Flash files can conduct XSS attacks, so be sure to put the correct restriction parameters on the OBJECT/EMBED tag
