Howdy. I have searched high and low for a proper explanation covering this
but to no avail. If there is a FAQ somewhere that definitively covers this
issue please let me know and I will stop bothering people on the list. I
have seen this question posted a lot so it really should be part of the PHP
FAQ (IMHO).
=)
From personal experience and posts on the 'Net, I have always thought that
PHP under safe_mode was *incapable* of performing form based file uploads
due to file ownership issues with the "/tmp" (or whatever temp directory
your system uses). I noticed a comment on the annotated manual at
www.php.net claiming that setting the upload dir to "./tmp" would work if
you just create the "./tmp" directory with 777 permissions in your local
file tree where the script was called from. I have tried every variation I
can think of cannot get this to work (and I had tries this a couple of
years ago with PHP 3.0 too). The manual makes no mention of safe_mode file
upload limitations really so I have not been able to 100% confirm this
either way. I'd like to get it working if at all possible but it is better
to know "you cannot" than to waste time fighting with it.
Has anyone gotten file uploads to work under safe_mode and if so, what
php.ini changes did you have to make? Also what OS are you using (this
particular setup is under the latest FreeBSD with PHP as an Apache module).
Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,
Ron
