Problems uploading images with script

Hi,

Im having trouble with my script in the sense that it doesnt appear to
be able to access files uploaded to the temporary folder on the
server. Below is the script that I am using:

<?php

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit_add'])) {

$imgPath = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name']; // the location of the temp
file

// diplay tmp file
print_r($_FILES); echo '<br />';

// does file exists
echo (file_exists($imgPath)) ? 'File exists' : 'File does not
exist'; echo '<br />';

$arDims = getimagesize($imgPath); // function to get image
dimensions etc
print_r($arDims);

}

?><html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="test_images.php" enctype="multipart/form-
data">
<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" name="submit_add" value="Add" />
</form>

</body>
</html>



It is able to provide the location of the uploaded file from the
$_FILES array:

Array (
[image] =Array (
[name] =At the Arch.jpg
[type] =image/pjpeg
[tmp_name] =/var/tmp/phpaHKMQl
[error] =0
[size] =281761
)
)

.... but when I even just do a file_exists on it (/var/tmp/phpaHKMQl ..
is this a lunux path?) returns false. This may be the reason that my
getimagesize() isnt working too.

Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? Is it my script or shoud I
speak with the server guys? Ive tried this on my WAMP setup as well as
another hosting account (possibly Windows) but its only this server
which its not working. Any ideas?

Cheers

Burnsy

I've seen this before - the file may or may not actually exist in the
tmp folder. But even if file_exists() fails, it seems
move_uploaded_file() still works.

Try moving it to your own directory then check it out. If it isn't what
you expect, delete it.
