Perhaps there is a rogue apache child left laying around that has some old php.ini setting, or was unable to read php.ini at startup and has fallen back to the default default values. > My web hosting provider doesn't really seem to care about such > problems, > so if I can point out this is a PHP bug and ask them for an update, it > would be great. It really sounds more like you are getting hit by something more random, say by some OTHER application screwing with upload_tmp_dir and then you inherit their setting... You'd think PHP would restore that one to php.ini setting, but... Alas, you can't just set this at the top of your script or anything, as the effect of the setting has already happened long before your PHP code starts running. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
