http file upload dir ...

[Anon]

Hi all,

a little prolem with file-upload. I am uploading files by http and so i use the global var $HTTP_POST_FILES to handle everthing. When i do following:

<?
echo $HTTP_POST_FILES['tmp_name'];
?>

i get :
/tmp/phpaVAAr2

as you can see the file has been uploaded to the directory "/tmp".

My Q is now, how can i change this dir so that the file is being uploaded to a differnt directory by default. (e.g: /var/www/testdir/)

Thanks in advance

You'll have to change your php.ini file - the upload_tmp_dir option.

is there any way to set this dir special for each user in the system ?

because my site is being hosted on a webserver which has many users and so i can't ask him to set this dir in a place where only i have permssion to it.

I mean my current problem is that the default tmpdir (/tmp) is "chowned" to root and "chgrped" to root, too so that i have to permission to either read, write or execute anythiing in this dir.

thanks
