Use either forward slash / or double backslashes \\
upload_tmp_dir="C:/DOCUME~1/MIA-KI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/php/upload"
upload_tmp_dir="C:\\DOCUME~1\\MIA-KI~1\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\php\\upload"
The single backslash tells most programs/scripts that the next
character is 'special'. When you echo upload_tmp_dir you will see
C:OCUME~1IA-KI~1OCALS~1emphppload
