File uploads and upload_tmp_dir

Xenofon Papadopoulos

When I was using /usr/tmp to keep the temp uploaded files,
move_uploaded_file used to fail randomly. Since I created a directory
owned by nobody:nobody (my apache user) and set upload_tmp_dir to it, I
don't have any problems. Any idea why /usr/tmp as temp upload directory
created this kind of mess? It's not a quota problem.
I'm using php 4.3.4RC2

If I'm right, the problem is with your target directory---it may
not be writable.
