Making this a Documentation Problem; I can't find any code
that sets PHP_UPLOADED_FILE_NAME, PHP_PUT_FILENAME or
other variations, so it seems that the docs at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php
are just plain wrong.
However, it does seem that fopen("php://stdin", "rb") will
allow access to that data (but I haven't tried to verify this).

Sounds like the data is ending up coming from stdin;
try the following code:

$data = fopen("php://stdin", "rb");
$destfile = fopen("file_to_overwrite", "wb");
while(!feof($data)) {
   $chunk = fread($data, 4096);
   fwrite($destfile, $chunk);
}
fclose($destfile);
fclose($data);

This doesn't explain why it doesn't behave as documented,
but should be enough to get you going.

PUT method is used for publishing from HTML editors.
But apache brings the data to the script to the stdin stream.
So, PHP does not accept any data. And, also, does not set up
any variable on that score.

I am using FreeBSD 4.6 and mod_php4-4.2.1_2.
I am using curl to send the file.
curl -T /kernel http://server/test.dat

Interesting thing is that the PHP code is executed and terminated
BEFORE the file has completed uploading. Weird.
