In a mailing list the people tell they can?t make the example of file upload work, only who uses windows. So a begin work on this and discover why.
If you don?t define upload_tmp_dir in php.ini, appears that php don?t know where to put, or it puts the file but don?t know where so $_FILES['userfile']['name'] return the correct value, but $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] comes empty and you can?t move the file.
Note that I don?t have anything in TMPDIR too.
The people on windows "must" set the upload_tmp_dir in php.ini, without this can?t upload a file.

According to the source there are defaults.  Here are some  comments found within hp_open_temporary_file.c:

/* We can't count on the environment variables TEMP or TMP,
 * and so must make the Win32 API call to get the default
 * directory for temporary files.  Note this call checks
 * the environment values TMP and TEMP (in order) first.
*/

That call is made to GetTempPath.

Run msconfig.exe and tell us what the above environment variables are set to on your system.

I read the changelog and for me appear that this is something like the bug 20725, that was fixed in PHP 4.3.0, since I try do it again in 4.3.0 and the PHP put the files on C:/windows/temp, but this don?t work on 4.2.3.
Thanks.

So your default tmp directory couldn't be written to or it didn't exist at all?
