 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      4.6.2
 Component:    base system
 Category:     bug reports
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Anonymous
 Reported by:  danielc
 Updated by:   m3avrck
 Status:       patch (code needs review)

Works for me as well. Question though, Drupal Admin > Settings allows a
user to specify a temp directory, does this interfere with that? This
patch defines a tmp directory but Drupal Admin > Settings allows
another one to be defined. Haven't looked into this but this could be a
deeper issue. 


If this isn't an issue, then +1 from me.

In includes/file.inc, the FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP constant is set as
follows:
  define('FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP', IS_WINDOWS ? 'c:\\windows\\temp' :
'/tmp');


It's wiser to set it to php.ini's upload_tmp_dir value:
  define('FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP', ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'));


I noticed this issue because I'm running Windows 2000, which defaults
to an install directory of c:\winnt, not c:\windows.  When I go to the
"Settings" administration page, (while running PHP 5.0.5-dev) I got the
following error at the top of the page:


  warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in
...\includes\file.inc on line 86.

I had the same problem when installed on a host with open_base_dir
enabled (it should be on a decent hoster machine)...

Here is a patch for this, seems like a good idea to me, works on a new
HEAD install on SUSe Linux.
