Hello again; I have a question about upload temp dir as defined in php.ini; I have been working on a project that has registered users, each having a user space portion of the web site file system. I want them to be able to upload images and such and have the stuff transfered to their own user spaces. With one up load temp dir designated, how do I insure that the uploaded files get to the correct destination? Or, is it possible to designate more than one up load temp dir in php.ini. (that would be the best solution) This situation is not a virtual host environment, but one site that will be using ssl.
No, the best solution is for your application to grab the path to that particular user's directory and assign a unique name to the uploaded file, then move it from the temp dir:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'], $upload_path); where 'upload_file' is the name of your upload form field. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
I am using Apache on unix based host and am aware that php assigns a temp name to files that are uploaded, but if different users are uploading files concurrently, there could be a confusion as to where each file should be transfered to.
That's unlikely to occur. In fact, i'd be surprised if it were possible that PHP would assign a temp name that already existed.
