Well it looks like the name of the form field where you upload the file
should be "lname".  Check that; also check to make sure /temp exists
(did you mean /tmp?)

I'll attach a script that works for me, and the upload form to go with
it.  This is what I use to upload things to my home directory (and 
authentication is required, it's not for anonymous upload).
