php FILE POST upload without save

Question

I am using a plain text file in a PhP script. Is there any way to process the file in the PhP script without saving it locally? Everywhere I see simply uploading a file and sav

Answer 1

You could just use $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] which would be the temp file that was uploaded. Once your script is done running, PHP should even clean up after itself and delete the temp file.
