I need a bit of help getting PHP configured the way I need it to be. I am trying to write an upload script for a friend, but the upload portions of the script always seem to fail. As far as I understand, PHP automatically uploads the temporary file to a default location. When I do a phpinfo(), this value is not set. I am using a build of PHP that does not have a default php.ini file, so I attempted to create my own. I added a file in /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib, but neither of them seem to change the value displayed in phpinfo().

Code:
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

Is that the correct format for the php.ini file? Any help to get this working would be appreciated.

I'm not sure that you need to specify a temporary upload directory, but make sure you set file_uploads to 1 (its a boolean). You can see more here:

Under File Uploads.

I think it is set to 1 by default. Regardless, when I print out the phpinfo() variables on my TiBook, it has file_uploads set to 1. I'm not sure why, but when I created the files /usr/lib/php.ini and /usr/local/lib/php.ini, neither of them seemed to take effect. Anyone?

Duh...needed to restart Apache

Okay, I'm getting close. I've gotten the script to work...almost. I do a check at the end that tests to see if the file was uploaded successfully and if not, to print the error code to the screen. Each time I attempt to upload a 24kb Word Document, 2 is displayed in the browser. I looked this up, and the PHP website says that is the error code indicating that max_file_size has been reached. I was successfully able to upload a 4kb document. I've read in various places that the max_file_size must be indicated as a hidden field in your HTML form. I've tried doing this. Is it that my max_file_size value just isn't big enough? I tried a 1 followed by about 15 zeros, but that didn't work either. Is there a way to make the max_file_size value infinitely large? Where do post_max_size and upload_file_size fit in to the picture? I set the latter two both to "50M" which should be 50MB, right?

upload_max_filesize is a setting in the ini file, setting to "50M" will be 50 MB yes
