A very typical problem. Good you sent the error message.
This problem can be caused due to one of the following-
1. I have faced similar problem due to local firewall settings.
2. Try some other domain; i.e. other than google com. Try some of the local
area website with a particular page like www.somedomain.com/somefile.html
3. Some times the remote host does not allow you to connect to get the file
contents.
4. # 3 can be either way round from both the ends a) you host server does
not allow external connections b) Remote host does not allow anonymous
connection.
Hope this helps..

OK you used ini_get try using ini_set and set the temporary directory on
your server of your choice at run time in your script (top of the script or
any config file if you have one).
REMEMBER that you have access to that directory, should have full
permissions and also check the absolute server path is correct while you set
the directory.
More information on how to use ini_set to set the directory path- try
googling...

i doubt i can use ini_set in this scenario
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
my mistake.... didn't use move_uploaded_file to see if the uploading
is working or not in the first case....
but i could not understand why
1. ini_get() is giving correct value while
$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] is ignoring that.
2. move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], 'file.php'); is
working fine but file_exists($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']) is returning
false
3. php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "/var/www/html"
in httpd.conf seems to work ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] is not ignoring that);

Just assuming you could alter the upload_tmp_dir setting in your code
(you can't) ...
PHP puts the uploaded files into the upload_tmp_dir BEFORE your script
runs, so changing it in your script essentially hides the uploaded
files.
PHP drops the files into directory A.
PHP then runs your code.
Your code changes the directory to B.
Your code cannot see the files PHP put into A as your code is now looking in B.
But, as I said earlier, you can't use your code to change
upload_tmp_dir. It can only be done at the system level (php.ini or
httpd.conf). See [1] and [2].

Richard Quadling.

The only reason I can see for wanting to do this would be where several
sites exist on the same server and you might want each site to have its
own temporary upload directory. It won't have any bearing on how you
handle the uploads unless it becomes full.

Well I got it working just great in the end. Aside from the odd issue
with relative URLs use in referencing images and Javascripts that I had
to sort out, everything seems to be working fine and is live. I've got
it on a 12-hour refresh, as the site will probably not be changing very
often at all. Thanks for all the pointers!
Thanks,

Am I just drunk or blind or the documentation is simply wrong?
>From the official doc
(http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php):
<?php
$uploads_dir = '/uploads';
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");
}
}
?>
The path for the upload dir should be a relative one, not an absolute one.
