Laravel 5.2 UploadedFile realPath not /tmp but /public

Question

When I upload a file to my API on vagrant everything works fine and laravel writes the file to /tmp/phpLRJnhx. When commit everything and pull the code on the live server Laravel writes the file to /var/www/webdir.nl/public. Why doesn't Laravel write the file to /tmp/ on the live server?

The location where uploaded files are stored can be configured using the upload_tmp_dir configuration option. To check the current temp directory see the output of sys_get_temp_dir().

`sys_get_temp_dir()` returns `/tmp` and not the public directory of my laravel project. – Bart Bergmans Jul 01 '16 at 07:38
