Dear all,

I have installed a PHP5 for the IIS 5.0

i have changed the path for the **upload\_tmp\_dir**  
in **c:\windows\php.ini** and **E:\PHP\php.ini**

```auto
 
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On
; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = e:\php\upload
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 10M

```

Then I restart the IIS via  
_Computer Management \> Services and Applications \> Services \> World Wide Web Publishing_

use the command of phpinfo();

and found that … the value of

upload\_tmp\_dir is …  
C:\DOCUME~1\user1\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\upload

Even I restart my computer , the upload\_tmp\_dir is still no change ?!?!!?  
the path doesn’t update ?!?!?!?

Any people could help and knows what is going on ???  
Thanks ~~
