Changed the file to:

"
...
$targetfilepath = $uploaddir . $uploadfile;
$filename=$_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"];
	if(isset($_POST["submit"])){
		$filename=$_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"];
		if($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 0){
			$file = fopen($filename, "r");
			while (($getdata = fgetcsv($file, 10000, ",")) !== FALSE){
				$dbdataentry = "INSERT INTO somedata(name, id, emailaddress, groupname) VALUES ('".$getdata[0]."','".$getdata[1]."','".$getdata[2]."','".$getdata[3]."')";
				$result = pg_query($dbconnect, $dbdataentry);
				}
			}
			fclose($file);
		 }
		 print "filename is $targetfilepath";
...
"

The file path was correctly printed in the web browser.

Then substituted the last line above to:

"
...
print "filename is $filename";
...
"

The filename was _not_ printed in the web browser.

Then substituted for:

"
...
print "filename is $_FILES";
...
"

Result printed in web browser:

"
...
Notice: Array to string conversion in
...filename is Array
...
"

Then substituted for:

"
...
print "filename is $file";
...
"

Result printed in web browser:

"
...
Notice: Undefined variable: file in
...
"

Then substituted for:

"
...
print "filename is $getdata";
...
"

Result printed in web browser:

"
...
Notice: Undefined variable: getdata in
...
"

So it would seem that these variables are not being accepted?
