[UPHPU] upload file, read, discard… move to read?

[Jim Anderson]

when the file is uploaded, it is written to the os temp dir [*nix is 
usually /tmp/file_name]. typically using move_uploaded_file() means that 
you want to keep a [semi]permanent copy of the file somewhere. you don't 
need to move the file to read it. if you read it as previously 
explained, rather than moving it, then the systme's garbage cleanup will 
take care of it. *best practice alert* - i always manually remove the 
file when i am finished with it, even when in the /tmp/ directory.
