File Upload Problem - nothing in /tmp

My PHP.ini file sets the following:

file_uploads = on
upload_max_file size = 3M
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

When I try and upload the file, it doesn't appears in /tmp.

The name of the Submit button is userFile. On the processing page, I
echo $userFile and it gives "/tmp/phpjXJ1ZK". However, the following
code does nothing:

copy($userfile,
"/www/servers/guinfit/uploads/".$HTTP_POST_FI LES['userfile']['name']);

Can anyone think of anything that might be wrong? It works under one
Linux installation, but not in the other. The php.ini upload settings
are exactly the same, and chmodding the /tmp/ to 777(!) doesn't work, so
I don't think it's a permissions problem.

Thanks in advance for any replies!!!

Makde sure you have:

<form ENCTYPE="multip art/form-data">

Then access the temp file name with:

$_FILES['userFlie']['tmp_name']

I am creating an upload/download function for an extranet site. Files will be uploaded to directory based upon the users login and associated project.

On submit, the images (if any)...

I am having problems using the file.create method within a function that is called when looping through an array of filepaths. If I call my function with a hardcoded file path --C:\Temp.txt the function creates the file as expected. When I loop through my array I get the error - "ArgumentException was unhandled - Illegal characters in path" The value "C:\Temp.txt" is the first value in the array - as it works

I think this is probably some minor oversight on my end but I'm just missing it. I have a multipart/form-data form in a ASP page. Inside the form I have traditional text fields and a upload field for uploading images to a server. The intent is to store the image name (not the image itself) along with corresponding data in a SQL Server database. The problem I'm currently having is that the upload is working correctly but it is not...

I'm using freeASPupload and got some assistance integrating to a Member script. It works successfully. In this modified version there are two groups that use this upload script. Members of one group get automatically re-directed after uploading. However, this member group never gets the benefit of knowing if they've uploaded an incorrect file size or incorrect file extension. Members from the second group do see the "exceeds max file...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
