upload_tmp_dir = c:\php\uploads The following error will show that the above setting is being ignored. ************************************** You submitted this file: Name: C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP\\php2 Original Name: Ad.txt Size: 606 Type: text/plain Warning: Unable to open 'C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP\\php2' for reading: Unknown error in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot/upload.php3 on line 11 Error: failed to copy file... ************************************** The following 2 files are the generators. <html> <!-- upload.htm --> <form action = "upload.php3" method = "post" enctype = "multipart/form-data"> submit this file: <input type = "file" name = "userfile" ><br> <input type = submit><BR> </form> </html> <html> <!-- upload.php3 --> You submitted this file:<BR><BR> Name: <? echo($userfile); ?><BR> Original Name: <? echo ($userfile_name); ?> <BR> Size: <? echo($userfile_size); ?><BR> Type: <? echo($userfile_type); ?><BR> <? //Copy the file to C:\upload.txt. Remember to escape backslashes! if (copy($userfile, "c:\\upload.txt")) { echo ("File successfully copied!"); }else { echo ("Error: failed to copy file..."); } //unlink ($userfile); ?> </html> Why does the variable &userfile contain "C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP\\php2" with double backslashes? Why is the setting to store uploaded files in the .ini file being ignored or over-ridden by the system default? Help greatly appreciated! Dave
