Just assuming you could alter the upload_tmp_dir setting in your code
(you can't) ...
PHP puts the uploaded files into the upload_tmp_dir BEFORE your script
runs, so changing it in your script essentially hides the uploaded
files.
PHP drops the files into directory A.
PHP then runs your code.
Your code changes the directory to B.
Your code cannot see the files PHP put into A as your code is now looking in B.
But, as I said earlier, you can't use your code to change
upload_tmp_dir. It can only be done at the system level (php.ini or
httpd.conf). See [1] and [2].
