PHP 4.0 Bug #8758: Lots of zero-sized files remain in directory for tmp files uploaded via POST

From: kappa@antar.bryansk.ru Operating system: FreeBSD PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: Lots of zero-sized files remain in directory for tmp files uploaded via POST I have a form with some type="file" fields for uploading images. If a user really fills a field, then I can handle the file properly and it gets deleted from ./tmp dir on script completion. But if a user leaves the field empty, php creates a zero-sized file in ./tmp and does not delete it. I even don't have to delete myself, because I get 'none' as filename inside my script. After a month of heavy use, I have a REALLY huge ./tmp directory full of zero-sized files named like phpsC7799 (example). That bothers me. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8758&edit=1
