php will return you four $vars to work with.
check this out.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
then work with the tmp file and get done with it what needs to be done
before the script closes cause php will delete the file when the script is
done.

Subject: [PHP] OPEN_BASEDIR from user point of view (instead server admin)
> Hello, I posted a question some days ago, but no answers received. I
> notice many people discussing OPEN_BASEDIR apache restriction here, but
> all discussion are from server admin point of view.
>
> Let me ask question in another way:
>
> Is it possible to tell HTTP <FORM ....> command the complete path/name
> into local server for file being uploaded?. Note upload made by <input
> type=file ..> command.
>
> The reason for this question is posted into my original question (below)
