naa it's there but you should be looking for
$_FILES['image_upload']['tmp_name'] like I put in my last post
Ya gotta read the docs dude!
here's the oil from the source:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php )
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file was stored on
the server.
and to show why you can't find it:
$_FILES['userfile']['name']
The original name of the file on the client machine.
so you could probably do what you want without moving it but as you can see
the way to refer to it is by
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
'cos that other name is what ot was called wher you uploaded it from (which
of course is why it worked on your local pc :^D )
