RE: [PHP-INST] PHP on Shared Server

With respect to files filling up in the tmp_dir, you should consider that when a file is uploaded it is temporarily stored in the temp_dir and is then copied to the directory specified in the script or in case that fails is then unlinked. (if I'm not mistaken). I'm sure you could verify this with a small test.

We are *NOT* using it as a module (for reasons which I won't go into). Anyhow, my question is regarding the following directive: upload_tmp_dir Since we are not using it as a module, we cannot define this variable inside the virtual user setting in Apache (or can we?). If this directive is not defined, where do the files go temporarily? (/tmp?) I guess I just don't understand the tmp_dir issue. If I have a script for file uploads, the files should go wherever it is stated in the script...Under what circumstances is the tmp_dir used? Bottom line - We arent using it as a module, we want to give customers ability to upload files (shared enviroment), but we don't want the risk of filling up system directories (e.g. /tmp). Ideas?
