luminous Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Just a question concerning the $_FILES['tmp_name'] field. I'm uploading a file which is being moved into two different locations. I run an 'If' check to see if either process fails but as I am running them both at the same time, when a $_FILES['tmp_name'] is moved, can it be used again? Both my functions run fine independetly but when I try run them both it doesn't work So my question is which may be seem fairly obvious: Once you move the $_FILES['tmp_name'] is it removed from the temp folder it's in? or is it copied? Thanks! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212648-_filestmp_name-recycling/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 How are you moving/copying the file? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212648-_filestmp_name-recycling/#findComment-1107777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminous Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Sorry, Should of mentioned that! I'm using the 'move_uploaded_file' function in both instances.

Adam Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Then yeah, the temp file will be removed. You can get around it though by copying the file yourself with copy.

Adam Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 No problem; just remember to unlink the temp file once you're done with it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212648-_filestmp_name-recycling/#findComment-1107788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
