#35380 [NEW]: Provide information about the current temporary directory
From: daniel dot gorski at develnet dot org
Operating system: Any
PHP version: 5CVS-2005-11-25 (snap)
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: Provide information about the current temporary directory
Description:
------------
It is not possible to programatically get the information about the
directory used by PHP where to store temporary files - if the session save
path is not set in the php.ini (default). There is no chance to get an
unusal path (unlike /tmp/) for temporary directory on OSes like Windows.
Creating a _single_ temporary file by e.g. tmpfile() doesn't solve the
problem if an additional temporary structure, e.g. for caching purposes,
needs to be created beneath the temp directory and an userland method
requires the path on which it can work on.
If running on Windows the location of the temporary directory might
differ. The code - or the - recognition of it is already solved in PHP:
http://lxr.php.net/source/php-src/main/php_open_temporary_file.c#161
But there is no way to get this information whilst a script is running.
Reproduce code:
---------------
-none-
Expected result:
----------------
A constant or function that reflects/returns the status of PHPs internal
php_tmpdir()/php_get_temporary_directory() for the current running script.
Actual result:
--------------
not available, but thank you for fixing in advance.
