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].

The only reason I can see for wanting to do this would be where several sites
exist on the same server and you might want each site to have its own
temporary upload directory. It won't have any bearing on how you handle the
uploads unless it becomes full.

Another way to handle this is via php.ini sections [1]

Re: [PHP] Upload dir
my mistake didn't use move_uploaded_file to see if the uploading is working or not in the first case but i could not understand why 1. ini_get() is giving correct value while $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] is ignoring that. 2. move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], 'file.php'); is working fine but file_exists($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']) is returning false 3. php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/html in httpd.conf seems to work ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] is not ignoring that); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Upload dir
OK you used ini_get try using ini_set and set the temporary directory on
your server of your choice at run time in your script (top of the script or
any config file if you have one).
REMEMBER that you have access to that directory, should have full
permissions and also check the absolute server path is correct while you set
the directory.
More information on how to use ini_set to set the directory path- try
googling...
