Description:
------------
PHP 4.3.4 is running under apache 1.3.27 as module.

Value of $_FILES['any_file']['tmp_name'] is wrong. All slashes in the path has been deleted. So, I cannot know the real filename of temporary file.

Reproduce code:
---------------
/* file with name 'any_file' was posted to the script
 I want to see, where the temporary file was stored on the server:
*/
print($_FILES['any_file']['tmp_name']);

Expected result:
----------------
c:/winnt/temp/phpXX.tmp


Actual result:
--------------
c:winnttempphpXX.tmp

Try this:

print(addslashes($_FILES['any_file']['tmp_name']));

I found my error.
My script was doing something like this:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $_FILES['any_file']['tmp_name'] = stripslashes($_FILES['any_file']['tmp_name']);
:)
But I can't understand why function stripslashes() strips all backslashes, not only before special characters [0, \, ', "], which escapes function addlashes().
