Help with is_uploaded_file

[akanevsky]

I am trying to make a hack here, which requires inserting something into $_FILES array even though it was not really posted. Of course, is_uploaded_file gives me false and the script does not work. Here it is:

PHP Code:

    $handle = @fopen($url, 'rb');
    $contents = "";
    while (!feof($handle))
    {
        $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
    }
    fclose($handle);

    $tmp_name = 'vbupload' . substr(TIMENOW, -4);
    $filesize = strlen($contents);

    // write file to temporary directory...
    if ($vboptions['safeupload'])
    {
        // ... in safe mode
        $filename = $vboptions['tmppath'] . "/$tmp_name";
        $filenum = @fopen($filename, 'wb');
        @fwrite($filenum, $contents);
        @fclose($filenum);
    }
    else
    {
        // ... in normal mode
        $filename = tempnam(ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'), 'vbupload');
        $fp = @fopen($filename, 'wb');
        @fwrite($fp, $contents);
        @fclose($fp);
    }

    $_FILES["attachment$key"]['name'] = preg_replace('/http:\/\/(.*)\//si', '', $url);
    $_FILES["attachment$key"]['type'] = '';
    $_FILES["attachment$key"]['size'] = $filesize;
    $_FILES["attachment$key"]['tmp_name'] = $filename;
    $_FILES["attachment$key"]['error'] = 0; 


Yeah... So is there any way to go around is_uploaded_file and make the system think it was uploaded, am I doing something wrong or what?
