Does the PHP user (aka the Apache user) have permission to *READ* from and *WRITE* to the TMP directory? You may be attacking the wrong side of the equation. I believe PHP will complain the same way whether it can't read/write /tmp, or it can't read/write to your destination directory. PS For God's sake change your permissions back to something reasonable, and stop running Apache as root, *NOW*. Actually, from a more practical stand-point, *change* your upload destination to some place *outside* the web tree, so that when PHP dumps stuff in there, possibly some stuff you don't *want* in there, possibly because some user is playing games with your site, then you can write some code to examine the content before doing anything with it -- Specifically *before* it ends up living on your public web-server. Example: Bad guy decides your server would be a nice place to upload not a worksheet, but his latest cracked video game or highly-popular software package or, ahem, "graphic images". Then *your* server becomes a free source of illegal content, or content you are not in the business of hosting. That's bad. Real bad. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
