The php upload directory is set by the php3.ini file. This file is
located /usr/local/bin/php/ and is setup by the administator of the
webserver.
The upload directory can't be changed in the script because its a
security risk.
Unless your system is setup wierd nobody should be able to write to
/var/tmp.

Read through the above url to see howto handle file uploads using forms.
If your still having problems give me an email and i can write you an
example script.
