What process is it that you think is doing the upload?...
It's usually "nobody" who owns it, which usually does have write access to
/tmp files. Or, maybe in your OS, /var/tmp files. If PHP says it got it
there, it probably did. But then you must copy it or process it, because
PHP will delete it when the script ends -- to avoid a denial-of-service
attack where somebody tries to upload a million little files through your
web-server to fill up /tmp.

You can't do that in a php.ini file in the same directory.
You *can* do it (maybe) with an .htaccess file, if Apache has .htaccess
turned on in httpd.conf, and upload_tmp_dir isn't one of the
non-over-ridable directives.
