It is very hard to help you, as you dont offer any information.

Xampp does not have a tmp folder, as Xampp is a name only. Xampp is a name for a software package. It is not a software. As you dont specify anything, i have no clue, which part of the software you are using, but i think, it may be PHP.

If so, there is a configuration file for php, it is called php.ini and there you can configure, where to use which tmp folder.

Hi,

Sorry For Confusing You, I Have Installed XAMPP Onto My Windows 7 Machine, If You Look Into The Install Directory, There Is A Folder Called "tmp", The Script I Am Testing Is Giving Me An Error Which Says;

"ERROR:
Your server tmp folder only has 913 MB, yet your max file upload is 1 GB. Please contact your host to increase."

I Am Running The Script Under The Apache Server.

Thanks

And what makes you believe, that this "tmp" is the tmp folder mentioned above? Please re-read my first answer and find out, which folder is the tmp folder.

Hi,

To Answer My Question, There Is Only One "tmp" Folder In The Installation Directory

Aaargghhh..... (you will never find the problem if you dont read the answers and follow instructions).

A very very very last hint: tmp directories are ALSO part of all Operating Systems, and these tmp directories are DIFFERENT from that in your installation folder. Configuration parameter (as found in php.ini for example) are responsible for the decision, WHICH of the known tmp directories are finally used by the software. Very often this is a tmp directory of the Operating System and NOT the tmp folder in a software installation.

Got it now? If not - I give up anyway.

We don't know anything to help you. That is the reason i haven't answered since yet.
We don't know the script, what you can configure in it (for example the location), anything about your environment (e.g. free disk space or ram).

I don't see yet that this is an XAMPP issue.
