Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-06 13:55:26] czarek dot tomczak at gmail dot com I can confirm this issue, using PHP 5.4.10 via CGI. Recently two users of the PHP Desktop project have reported problems with the temp directory on Windows 8: https://code.google.com/p/phpdesktop/issues/detail?id=23 https://code.google.com/p/phpdesktop/issues/detail?id=39 In both cases the temp directory returned by sys_get_temp_dir() is "C:\Windows". Seems like the php version doesn't matter, it happens on php 5.3, 5.4, 5.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-19 07:29:09] ab@php.net Still experiencing this issue? Couldn't repro, it's always something like C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp for me. Anything special in your setup? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-12 08:37:29] md dot xytop at gmail dot com Description: ------------ On Windows8 function sys_get_temp_dir() returns path 'C:\Windows' which is of course not correct Test script: --------------- echo sys_get_temp_dir(); // output: C:\Windows Expected result: ---------------- C:\Windows\Temp Actual result: -------------- C:\Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64410&edit=1
