If using 'tmp_file' you will need to use move_uploaded_file() first

[ethanwillis]

As stated in the title you will need to use move_uploaded_file() if you are handling uploads yourself and using tmp_file. This is because 'tmp_file' will remove the file extension which breaks parsing on the Transloadit side.

See the following resources:

1. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php#refsect1-function.move-uploaded-file-examples
2. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4693144/uploaded-picture-in-tmp-is-without-file-extension

We will need to update the documentation with a note about this just in case other people want to try and exert more control without using Transloadit::createAssemblyForm()

Hi @ethanwillis could you give us more context about this? maybe a piece of code could help to understand better :)

@ethanwillis if I understand correct you just need to pass the right path in array('/PATH/TO/FILE.jpg'), I guess, it doesn't matter if it's in tmp or other folder, if PHP can access this file and there is permission to handler it, it'll works ....

I guess issues with more then 1 month without any interaction could be closed and if you see it's necessary the owner can open again
