I've got a strange thing with overriding an ini file in PHP.  

I'm trying to implement a simple example of a script that allows a file to be
uploaded.

I put an <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="myfile" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> tag
on the form, along with a submit button. (yeah, the rest of the HTML is
fine...)

The script gets the file, uploads it, and the $myfile variable says the
uploaded file is named something like "/var/tmp/phpq32345".  However, I don't
have write permissions to /var/tmp.  (Neither does the process doing the
actual upload!)

I created a php3.ini file in the same directory that contains the script.
It has only the line:

   upload_tmp_dir = myuploads

Then I created a directory named myuploads in the same dir with 2777 
perms.

However, the script never sees this ini file!  I printed out the cwd from 
the script, and it IS the same dir where the php3.ini file resides; I can 
even exec a command 'ls -l *.ini' and it shows up there just fine.

I tried setting $PHPRC inside the script, but that doesn't work. I'm not sure
how to inject PHPRC into the php script environment, because the scripts run
as user "nobody".

I can't figure out how to override the default location.  Any suggestions?

FYI: this is running on PHP 3.0.14,  Apache 1.3.12 on a FreeBSD 4.0 platform.
