Bug description: extract($_FILES) result unpredictable
Description:
------------
After receiving reports of a broken feature, the problem was traced to
extract($_FILES) producing different results on different servers.
A server running PHP 5.2.5 gave the expected result where
$variable['tmp_name'] contained the uploaded file path. A server running
PHP 5.2.3 gave the unexpected result where $variable['tmp_name'] always
dumped as string(1) "/"
The workaround is to use $_FILES['tmp_name'] in which case both servers
gave the expected result.
I am stumped as to whether this is caused by a bug that was fixed between
versions or some configuration issue I am not aware of?

["tmp_name"]=>
string(18) "/var/tmp/phpSJkwr0"
["error"]=>
int(0)
["size"]=>
int(379)
}
string(18) "/var/tmp/phpSJkwr0"
Actual result:
--------------
string(14) "/tmp/phpZOtyB7"
string(1) "/"
