You're absolutely correct. The script works perfectly fine now, and I have
you to thank. I went back to Handling file uploads and re-read the entire
thing. I guess I missed the part that said the following before the actual
script example. My fault and my apologies. Thanks Jason, and thanks to all
the others who replied as well.
...Whatever the logic, you should either delete the file from the temporary
directory or move it elsewhere.
The file will be deleted from the temporary directory at the end of the
request if it has not been moved away or renamed.

Sorry about that guys, here is a bit more info that might be useful:
I forgot to tell you that I'm working on a Windows XP box with
full rights,
which means the default temporary directory is C:\WINDOWS\Temp and there
are no limitations on what I can and cannot access on the
system (running
as system administrator). I did change that default to
C:\PHP\tmp_uploads.
I ran this script with the default temp directory as well, same result.
Assuming that you webserver really does have access to write to those
directories then ...
[snip 'simplified' code]
Here is what's happening:
2. When the submit button is pushed, the files are uploaded through the
form but the temporary file is never created on the system. I
did a search
on the entire C: drive for the temporary file that should have been
created, but it's not there.
... you didn't read the manual like I suggested. Because
otherwise you'll know
that the file will be deleted from the temporary directory at
the end of the
request if it has not been moved away or renamed.
If you didn't 'simplify' the example and removed the all
important copy() or
move_uploaded_file() then you would have had something that worked!
