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'],

How can i change the temporary upload directory?
var_dump(ini_get('upload_tmp_dir')); gives me (and that is set in
php.ini)
string '/var/www/cgi-bin' (length=16)

Am I just drunk or blind or the documentation is simply wrong?
From the official doc

?php
$uploads_dir = '/uploads';
foreach ($_FILES[pictures][error] as $key = $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {

You should be able to use either an absolute or relative path. In the
code below, the path specified is absolute (it starts with /). If you
want it to be relative to your current directory, change the line to:
$uploads_dir = 'uploads'; or $uploads_dir = '../uploads';
So basically, it all
Hello - I have an application I'm building that allows users to store
personal information and files (images, PDFs, etc.) in our database, but I
need a way for them to be able to save the HTML output of that personal data
to a local (for the user) flash drive. I'm guessing I'm going to need a
If you are wanting to save the information as a PDF (formatted the same
as the HTML page), check out tcpdf at www.tcpdf.org. It is fairly
simple to implement and can interpret an HTML page causing it to be
saved as PDF.

Hi,
you lost me a bit. Let say a user uploads a PDF file to one of your servers.
What do you mean when you say I want the users to be able to save the

When used in PHP, an absolute path does not go off the web root. In
Premise 3 below, an absolute path of /upload will NOT bring up the
directory /home/prof3ta/projects/moodle/htdocs/upload but rather
simply /upload In Windows terms, an absolute path would be

apple, banana, and cucumber, anyone can easily set xyz to an

To prevent this, I create a hidden field code[xyz] with value:

MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256,$salt,apple,banana,cucumber,MCRYPT_ENCRYPT));

you don't necessarily need encryption, you could use digests instead
and issue a use-once ticket as well.

Doh, I should have thought of that!
Thanks, that is what happens when you use code that someone else has writen
and included with a software package. At least I assumed that the code was
already written correctly to accept parameters. I guess it wasn't.

Too much reliance on the user knowing how to extract the files to the flash
drive – need something that does it all for them so all they have to do is
insert the flash drive on their own computer to store the preformatted
presentation and then insert into a prospect’s computer and either a)

That’s exactly why I need something that will put all the needed files directly
onto the flash drive – to take that responsibility away from the user. Pulling
the data from the DB and creating the folder structure is easy with PHP – just
not sure how to copy that folder structure and related

Hi Joseph,
I'm perfectly fine with the concepts of absolute/relative path and
webroot, trust me.
For me it was just unclear from the documentation the fact that the
target path in the move_uploaded_file function was absolute with
respect to the file system and not to the webroot.
At the beginning

PHP cannot create a folder structure on your local machine. I don't
think Javascript or VBScript can either. Your best bet is with the zip
files. Windows users have it fairly simple actually (as much as I hate
to admit it) as all they would have to do is right-click and Extract.
You can
