Hi Scream,

// Doesn't support it, so we write our own function

$filename = $userfile;
////////********* At runtime $filename="/var/tmp/phpH31568"
if (!$tmp_file = get_cfg_var('upload_tmp_dir')) {
$tmp_file = dirname(tempnam('', ''));
/////////////********At runtime $tmp_file="";
}
$tmp_file .= '/' . basename($filename);
$validfile = (ereg_replace('/+', '/', $tmp_file) == $filename);
if ($validfile) {
$goodfile = "yes";
}
}
===================================================

I am guessing that you are using a version of PHP that doesn't support the "is_uploaded_file function"? If that's the case then I've tried to put in some code that will validate the file before accepting the upload. I'll try tinkering with this some more on my system to see if I can track down the problem.

Was this problem ever figured out? I'm having the same problem (5.1.6 fresh install). The settings seem to be correct, the directory is chmod 777'd, and the file seems to upload correctly (in IE or Netscape). But no matter what I do, the attachment never shows up in the post, and the file never shows up in the directory.

I sent an email to my ISP to see if the PHP version supports the "is_uploaded_file" function, but I thought I'd post here at the same time.

Thanks,
John

I never did hear back on this one, so I'm not sure. If you can find out if your PHP does support this function then maybe I can work on tracking down the problem.

My ISP didn't have the "upload_tmp_dir" variable set. They said that it was supposed to default to /tmp or /var/tmp (or something like that), but apparently it didn't. Once they placed that value in the variable, the file upload feature worked.
