put $_FILES into a session

Hello,

I'm trying to get my $_FILES arrays into a session because I want to
move the files later to a specific directory (ie after I get a result_id
from a sql insert). No problem putting the variables in a session but I
can't move $_SESSION['userfile']['tmp_name'] anymore.
$_SESSION['userfile']['error'] is 0 so I don't really see what could be
the problem....

Anybody can help?

I don't really see the problem. After upload, get the name of the
file, move it somewhere safer and after you're ready to delete the
file, delete file saved its name or do whatever you want with it.

if ( move_uploaded_file ( $filename, ´/safe/place') )
$_SESSION['file']='/safe/place'.$filename;

Maybe I didn't understand your question.

I fell over that as well, but 'tmp_name' is only TeMPorary for the
request. Next page its gone. You'll either have to copy teh file
somewhere ore really read the file content into a session variable.

If you look on the server, its just gone. I assume because its
temporary.
