Image Manager Doesnt Upload

[BTS]

It was in fact the "upload_tmp_dir" setting in the php.ini.

Thanks for your help!!

So it seems to me that the location of the images directory should really be set within the application vs in the php.ini file. Is there a way to do this? Can I add some code to index.php in the faq directory that will do this?

Sorry, I'm not quite sure to have really understood your question so let me summarize the picture:
1. By design the images inserted into the PMF server, by means of the Image Manager provided with the WYSIWYG Editor, are saved into the folder:
[PATH_TO_PMFINSTALL/images.
2. It's not so hard to modify the code in order to give to PMF uploaded images a more useful "sandbox" but changes are to be performed in several files.
3. (2.) is under discussion and maybe in PMF 1.6.x there will be a sandbox for those images or maybe in PMF M.m will be stored directly into the database: it's too soon to give a response to this point...
4. In order to be able to upload files under PHP, and let PMF images upload work, there is no need to set the upload_tmp_dir with the path of the folder in which you'd like to save your images. That (optional) setting is internal to PHP for the regular working fo PHP itself: it plays the same role of session.save_path. Under Windows you must create a dedicated folder and give it the Modify right for IUSR_<machinename>.

Said this, your question is:
a. (2.)
b. (4.)
?

Ah ok, it was me that misunderstood. In order to fix my problem I had set the upload_tmp_dir to the actual phpfaq images folder. I see now that this is really just a temp directory that requires write access.

thanks again for your help.
