This sounds very much as if some security settings are in effect (I'm thinking on either an open_basedir setting, or on safe_mode). Check your ini file for this (use ini_get('open_basedir') if you have no access to the ini file). If this is the case you're seeing a fake /tmp folder instead of the "real" one. Take my advice - create a folder within your web root, you have enough control there to make this writeable for the web server. -- >O Ernest E.
