Help with PHP File Upload Issue

I am attempting to upload files via. PHP 4.4.4. The
'$_FILES['update']['tmp_name'][0]' resolves to '/tmp/phpey9MpD', but
when I go to the /tmp dir. I do not see any php* file.

Could this be a issue with PHP or unix permissions for the web server?

Do I need to set an absolure dir. in the INI to make this work?

Confused as this works fine under another system with PHP 5.x.

============== (the html upload form) ===============
<form
name="upload" action="admin_test.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input
type="hidden" name="what" value="process">
<table
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="90%" align="center">
<tr>

<td class="reg">1. </td>

<td class="reg"><input type="File" name="update[]" size="15"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td class="reg">2. </td>

<td class="reg"><input type="File" name="update[]" size="15"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td align="right">&nbsp;</td>

<td><input class="button" type="submit" name="loginbtn"
value="Upload"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

/tmp/phpey9MpD is the temporary file name for your uploaded file. You
must copy or move the temporary file to other directory immediatelly.
You can't find that file in /tmp because after the script run, php will
delete the temporary file.

use move_uploaded_file() function to handle the upload file.

temp files are deleted when the script finishes executing so unless you run
the script through a loop to give you a chance to see it unlikely you will
ever see the file.
