Apache / Nginx / Lighttpd: PHP Disable File Upload

last updated April 14, 2013 in Apache, Lighttpd, Linux, Nginx, PHP, UNIX

I am in the process of setting Apache and PHP for my small business server. I’m not utilizing file upload functionality in any of my PHP scripts. How do I disallow uploading files under CentOS or Ubuntu Linux based LAMP server?
