upload path from a mac

[Anon]

When I upload a file from a mac, $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'] comes out with the full path on the client mac.

is there anyway around this, and is there a more elegant solution than using regex to strip out everything before the last slash?

I believe this is the functionality you want. Use move_uploaded_file() to move it to a web-accessible directory once a user uploads it if that's what you're trying to accomplish here.

I want to move the file from the temp php directory to a permanent directory and rename it back to the user's filename.

this requires renaming from
$userfile to $userfile_name

it works great if the file is uploaded from a pc or linux. but on a mac $userfile_name is the full path on the mac. I want to strip that stuff out, and am wondering why it is there at all.
