when the file is uploaded, it is written to the os temp dir [*nix is usually /tmp/file_name]. typically using move_uploaded_file() means that you want to keep a [semi]permanent copy of the file somewhere. you don't need to move the file to read it. if you read it as previously explained, rather than moving it, then the systme's garbage cleanup will take care of it. *best practice alert* - i always manually remove the file when i am finished with it, even when in the /tmp/ directory.

I guess an important question is whether the file is actually even in a temporary location or if it is just in memory. Does move_uploaded_file() actually _move_ the file or is it just writing it out from memory?
