Hello,

Try checking the "upload_tmp_dir" setting in your PHP.ini. You should use
either escaped backslashes (\\) or slashes (/)

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] special page fileUpload doesn`t run


Hello,

if I upload a file the tempfile-name on the answer-page comes wrong

example, wampp2tmpphp3E2A.tmp the "\" are eliminated
the correct path would be "wampp2\tmp\php3....

I run the mediawiki on a windowsXP with apache.

All other things are okay. This is my first and the only error I have with
the wiki.

Thanks for Help

There's an inconsistency in how PHP does its "magic quotes" mangling on
the upload data, which we had overlooked. It doesn't usually make a
different on Unix but Windows does silly things like using backslash for
a directory separator, which screws everything up when we remove the
"extra" backslashes.

A fix will be in 1.2.6; you can make the change manually in index.php:
