Hi, You may use register_shutdown_function() to clean things up after exit() http://jp2.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php So simply extract files to tmp dir and delete everything after execution. I guess this is what you need.

I would expect that if the target application also registers a shutdown function there could be problems, but its potential nesting is something to look into. I suppose it would also be possible to fork the application and delete the temp file once the "child" fork had completed, which /might/ be less prone to being overridden by an arbitrary application.

BTW, I don't think eval() is evil as long as programmers know what they are doing.

Neither do I, but that in itself doesn't change the way it works. <g> Thanks for your suggestion.
