#26075 [Opn->Bgs]: File upload leak, cleanup not being performed

ID: 26075 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: php at lektec dot com dot au -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: FreeBSD 4.7 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The solution to this problem is to set ignore_user_abort(true) on the forms that deal with file attachments. That way PHP will be able to remove the unused file uploads.

If the user cancels the upload via the stop button in the browser, the php script does not clean up the file reminants. If upload is completed the temporary file /var/tmp/php[A-Za-Z0-9]6 is removed. However in the case when the upload is aborted it is left behind. I have never noticed this before so I assume its new. Currently running a cron job to remove file reminants however this has a nasty sting if it goes unchecked on a server with many file uploads. Note that I am also running php accelerator.
