Default HTTP upload location apache2

[Matt79]

I have been trying to make it possible to upload images on my website via a web browser. I have created the HTML form, I can browse to my desktop and upload an image. But my question is, where is it on my server after I upload it?   I am running ubuntu 8.04 on my server.

 

Here is the html form I am using.

<form action="/" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2500000"> Upload Image: <input type="file" name="imgfile">
<font size="1">Click browse to upload a local file</font>
<br/><input type="submit" value="Upload Image">
</form> 

 

Thanks for any help. I am not sure if this is a html, php, or a apache2 issue.

Anyone?

Probably /tmp/, it uses the system default unless it is overriden in the php.ini, you should use the move_uploaded_file function to move it out of the tmp folder.

Does it get removed from tmp immediately? at this point I would be happy just to see the file on the server.

I don't know at what point it get's removed, I suspect it would be pretty quickly. Possibly at the point the script ends if you don't move it possibly not *shrugs*. If you want to see it, just move it to another folder.
