$_FILES['file_import']['tmp_name']) returns only folder name but not file name

I have a php web app that I deploy to multiple servers. It works on my local installation as well as every other server I put it on.

But on the current server I'm deploying to, I'm having trouble with all of the file upload features.

When trying to debug it, I realized they are failing when trying to get the finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE).

Example: a form has an upload field called "file_import". I put in the following line of code into the shared import function.

die(print_r($_FILES['file_import']));

On my local installation, it returns:

Array
(
    [name] => US Capital Division.csv
    [type] => application/vnd.ms-excel
    [tmp_name] => C:\wamp\tmp\php3B7C.tmp
    [error] => 0
    [size] => 1268
)
1

Uploading the same file on the current deployment it returns:

Array
(
    [name] => US Capital Division.csv
    [type] => application/vnd.ms-excel
    [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpJdRZDW
    [error] => 0
    [size] => 1268
)
1

They both say they have no errors, but the deployment server only gives the folder name for the tmp_name value, while the local installation gives the temp folder AND file name. So when my code try $_FILES['file_import']['tmp_name'] it errors.

I feel like it has to be server setting or folder setting, but I can't find anything on the web as to what would cause that.

Thanks.

Actually, the phpJdRZDW inside [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpJdRZDW is not a folder... It's just a temporary file name while the file sits inside the /tmp/ folder (waiting to be moved and [usually] renamed).
