Then instead of moving the uploaded file [php.net] you would simply read it into your variable from your temporary directory to which the file was uploaded. I would think that perhaps file_get_contents() [php.net] should work. Don't forget you may want to delete the file from your temporary directory after you have read it into your variable.
