images not uploading [php]

UPLOAD TEMP DIR not FOUND

theres no temp dir specified when i run phpinfo either.
This is a custom script, site also runs wordpress, which fails to upload now.

this just happened suddenly, so i thought maybe it would be a server/hosting issue. So i asked them to have a look and they asked where my wp-content folder was :rolleyes:

its not a folder permission/chmod issue, i think php just cant find temp folder to upload to?

i asked hosting to check the ini file and obviously shared hosting, they cant.
"However you do have the ability to create a custom local php.ini file in your public_html folder."

any ideas?
thanks

What does sys_get_temp_dir() report? [PHP]<?php
echo sys_get_temp_dir();
?>[/PHP]
You can also use upload_tmp_dir setting in a local php.ini.

Ask the hosting company because they say that you can do it:

they said to just add php.ini in the public_html folder
it only works i.e prints out the upload_tmp_dir when its in the same folder as the script anyway

i put this in the ini file
upload_tmp_dir = "/home/USER/tmp"
also tried
upload_tmp_dir = "/home/USER/public_html/tmp"


but the first one is where the tmp folder was but i tried creating it else where with 777 permissions

leave ini in same folder as the script and calling
echo ini_get('upload_tmp_dir');

gives me: [given i set it to that]
/home/USER/tmp


your query
sys_get_temp_dir();

gave me
/tmp


anyway NOW i get no errors, says file is uploaded but its no where to be found.
not sure WTF is going on but clients wrecking my head and so is this.


Problem only came to light when he tried to upload an image that was 3mb, not sure how this would change any of the system settings though.....

also no, im not trying to upload a 3mb file, just small less than 100kb jpegs

Have you looked at the global $_FILES variable after upload?

[PHP]// snip
var_dump( $_FILES );
// snip[/PHP]

or

[PHP]// snip
$file_data_array = var_dump( $_FILES , true );
// snip[/PHP]

php.ini has to be everywhere with the script

upload_tmp_dir = "/home/user/tmp"

used this to check
$_FILES



so got it working



having issue now with wordpress

Please note, this is not a theme or so issue. The categories are not showing in the admin panel, however it denotes that there is 6 categories. They are also visible in the databse.

Thinks its to do with the tmp folder issue again
i tried setting these in wp-config

define('WP_TEMP_DIR', '/tmp');
define('DBCR_CACHE_DIR', '/tmp');

but no avail
