Description:
------------
After receiving reports of a broken feature, the problem was traced to
extract($_FILES) producing different results on different servers.
A server running PHP 5.2.5 gave the expected result where
$variable['tmp_name'] contained the uploaded file path. A server
running PHP 5.2.3 gave the unexpected result where $variable['tmp_name']
always dumped as string(1) "/"
The workaround is to use $_FILES['tmp_name'] in which case both servers
gave the expected result.
I am stumped as to whether this is caused by a bug that was fixed
between versions or some configuration issue I am not aware of?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<form method="POST">
<input name="themefile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
extract($_FILES, EXTR_SKIP);
var_dump($themefile);
var_dump($themefile['tmp_name']);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array(5) {
["name"]=>
string(20) "samplefile.txt"
["type"]=>
string(24) "application/octet-stream"
["tmp_name"]=>
string(18) "/var/tmp/phpSJkwr0"
["error"]=>
int(0)
["size"]=>
int(379)
}
string(18) "/var/tmp/phpSJkwr0"
Actual result:
--------------
string(14) "/tmp/phpZOtyB7"
string(1) "/"
