no matter what i try it won't let me change this setting. i am trying to build a file upload feature but all the files i upload don't work because they are locked. i figured out that the files are inheriting the permissions of the temp folder that they get uploaded into. no problem, just change that value. however, my IT guys here don't want to make that folder open.
no problem, i'll just move the upload_tmp_dir to a different folder and share that. except no matter what i do in the php.ini file, it won't change to the directory i specify for the upload_tmp_directory. it defaults to C:\WINDOWS\Temp. i've tried every combination i can think of for the path. with quotes. without quptes. with \ or /. i restart the server and refresh the php info page and it is always C:\WINDOWS\Temp. grr.
i know IIS sucks for php but i have no other option for this box. is there a special syntax i need to use to get php to recognize a different folder for the upload_tmp_dir setting?
upload_tmp_dir = "C:\uploads" (C:\uploads is the folder i want to use for the setting)
