Topic: File Upload directory

[Mark Murden]

Can anyone help me with altering the temporary file upload directory on a SME 5.1 server.

I am uploading files from an HTML form:

(File:



and the $file variable takes becomes something like this:

/tmp/php9NVELE

I can copy and use these files as require after modifying the open_basedir restrictions to /.

As you can understand I would rather leave the open_basedir restrictions in place on a higher level directory (say /home/e-smith/files/ibays/) and get the temporary uploaded files here before copying.

I have looked into solutions modifying php.ini with no effect (as expected) but cannot find any e-smith templates or the like relating to the upload directory.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Why not take advantage of the move_uploaded_file() command, available in PHP?

See http://www.php.net for more information on handling the upload of files.  For security reasons, I also recommend using is_uploaded_file()
