PHP File Upload Temp Dir

[SeanF]

Hi:

I have an application (PHP/MySQL) which includes a function that allows users to upload files.

The code has not changed for about two years and now the upload function is failing. If I echo the error, it's "8 - Missing a temporary folder." Similarly, I have not changed the folder structure or the php.ini file. (currently the upload_tmp_dir is not set in php.ini) My hosting company is becoming more and more unreliable and I would not be surprised if they make changes which would affect this without notifying their customers.

To mitigate changes I may not have control over, is there a way I can explicitly declare an upload temp directory within the php code?

Thanks

You should be able to do that within the script itself rather than in the ini file. Look for file_put_contents(), fwrite() or fputs() in the script handling the uploading for the path it's using.
