PHP 5.3.10 via CGI (Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe")
Apache 2.2.29

sys_get_temp_dir() returns path 'C:\Windows'
My windows variables are set to '%SystemRoot%\TEMP' and
'%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp' BUT NOT TO 'C:\Windows' (%SystemRoot%)

Ok, just tried it again with IIS+fastcgi+win8, it gives c:\windows\temp .
The windows implementation uses this API function to determine the temporary dir
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364992(v=vs.85).aspx
According to that docs, c:\windows is the very last fallback when none of TMP,
TEMP, USERPROFILE has worked. Conclusion - this is neither PHP nor Win API issue,
but an environment one. For 5.4 one of those environment variables has to be set,
for 5.5+ additionally sys_temp_dir is usable.

In the latest PHP 5.5.0 the temp directory on Windows 8 is "C:\Windows",
just confirmed by one of the users.

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.

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?

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
