Ok, if anyone else is having the same trouble with PHP 4.2.1, David Robley's suggestion (Thank you David!) works. I am not to proud to have missed the obvious :)
If you are having trouble loading files (LOAD INFILE...) with PHP into MySQL, just do a chmod($file, 0777), and it works. Not sure why this version of PHP doesn't give full permissions in the /tmp directory, but..... Thanks all.
