Indeed.

It is all in the Fine Manual.
Go to www.php.net
Search for function ini_set()
Follow the first link to the 'appendix'.

You'll see a list there.
Under the list you can find the meaning of things like:
php_ini_user, php_ini_system, etc.

In your case: php_ini_system.
This means you have to change it in php.ini or in httpd.conf.

Why is that?
For some reason PHP wants to know this value BEFORE running your script.
Reason?
(Guessing) I expect PHP must know WHERE to place the uploaded file before
executing your script.
