Hi,
In the Image_Transform NetPBM driver I need to use two of the methods from the file package (getTempFile() and getTempDir()). Should I include this package in the code, creating an extra dependency and adding another 500+ lines of code, or should I instead duplicate these two methods in my driver? If I was using C I'd do the former, but for PHP is the latter better?
Thanks,
Peter
