#24087 [NEW]: Make temporary_directory available in userland

From: philip at cornado dot com Operating system: all PHP version: 5CVS-2003-06-08 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Make temporary_directory available in userland How about making the result from get_temporary_directory() available in user land, most likely as a constant named TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY This would be useful in that we'd know where this is, in both Windows and *nix. The code that defines the internal variable temporary_directory is here: http://lxr.php.net/source/php4/main/php_open_temporary_file.c#164 I'm not a devel guy, but the following hack seems mildly appropriate: REGISTER_STRING_CONSTANT("TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY", get_temporary_directory(), strlen(get_temporary_directory()), 0); Not sure where to put it though, or if it's fully correct (doubtful), but please consider this idea as it would be nice. One *possible* concern is security but I think it's worth it, *maybe* disable this option in safe_mode. It's not like the TEMP directory is a big secret, nor is viewing various related directives like session.save_path and upload_tmp_dir. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24087&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24087&r=gnused
