Problem uploading a file

[jasper182]

I am currently working on a simple file uploader for a site I've been messing around with, and I'd like to read the information from the uploaded file immediately, [i][b]without [/b][/i]storing the uploaded file on my server.  However, after looking around I've been unable to find any real help on this.  I use a standard uploader:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploadFile.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

I can get the temp file name, but when I try to fopen it, it only prints out something like "Resourse id#3" or something like that.  If you could help me out or something I'd really appreciate it.

Nevermind, I just got an email from a friend and found out I was reading an incorrect variable then trying to print it.  Boy do I feel foolish  :-\

Bearing in mind that if you can get the temp name the file is likely to be stored in the servers /tmp directory and if you do not need the file it can be a good idea once you have read the file to delete it with

unlink($path_to_temp_file);
