WampServer

Hi all,
I've a problem regarding file upload, after the POST action I retrieve the values:

$_FILES['bulk_file']['name'] = bulk_import.csv
$_FILES['bulk_file']['type'] = application/vnd.ms-excel
$_FILES['bulk_file']['size'] = 529
$_FILES['bulk_file']['tmp_name'] = c:/wamp/tmp\php3AE.tmp
$_FILES['bulk_file']['error'] = 0

but in temp dir c:/wamp/tmp there isn't the file php3AE.tmp, there are only session files.

I've checked the php.ini and is correctly configured for file upload, the files that I want upload are less tha 2 Mbyte, and I've assigned for whole c:\wamp the permission of write to everyone (I use wampserver for develop in localhost).

I'm using WAMP version 1.6.6 on windows xp sp2

Regards, Lorenzo

are you getting any kind of error message?

php already has a setting in the php.ini file of where temp files will be put, you dont need to add that code to your script
$_FILES['bulk_file']['tmp_name'] = c:/wamp/tmp\php3AE.tmp

Hi,
maybe there was a misunderstanding, the equal means the current value of the variables:
$_FILES['bulk_file']['name'] its vaule is: bulk_import.csv
$_FILES['bulk_file']['type'] its vaule is: application/vnd.ms-excel
$_FILES['bulk_file']['size'] its vaule is: 529
$_FILES['bulk_file']['tmp_name'] its vaule is: c:/wamp/tmp\php3AE.tmp
$_FILES['bulk_file']['error'] its vaule is: 0

but on c:/wamp/tmp there isn't the uploaded file php3AE.tmp.

So how can I read or move a file that not exists?
I've tried with the function move_uploaded_file but I receive a missing stream error,
and I think that if the file is missing is difficult open a stream

Thanks in advance
Lorenzo

the tmp folder is outside you webroot, so you can not create files in it for security reasons. dont worry about where php stores temp files since php handles that for you.

Hi,
thanks for the answer.

Thus with wamp I can't use the function move_uploaded_file, unless I move the temp dir
under the webroot.
Sometimes I need to move uploaded file to storage areas but i I can't handle the temp
file I'll never move it.

Now I look if change the standard config or find another way to solve this issue.
Bye, Lorenzo
