ID: 44972 Comment by: brian at macserve dot net Reported by: timtowdi at yahoo dot com Summary: Feature Request: overriding sys_get_tmp_dir Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.2.6 Block user comment: N New Comment: 1. the suggested php.ini setting for "uploaded files" has ZERO effect on the original requestors report. the directory returned by the sys_get_tmp_dir() function cannot be overriden from within PHP or php.ini; only where uploaded files are placed can be overridden which only coincidentally is the same when you do NOT define upload_tmp_dir in php.ini. the original request stands as a valid critique. 2. your url is missing an "el" at the end of manual. corrected: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir 3. The security environment of the original request is interesting and perhaps up for debate, but is not relevant to this discussion. There may be valid technical reasons for locating TMPDIR for PHP to another location other than the TMPDIR environment variable that comes into Apache. Perhaps temp files for PHP need to live on a different disk for performance and/or security reasons. Being able to define this with a php.ini setting is completely reasonable. 4. Sorry to be a noodge, but this request over 2 years old and not resolved? ./main/php_open_temporary_file.c : php_get_temporary_directory() needs just a little bit of code it looks like. Thanks!

Not having the tmp dir in the open_basedir lists (and having only one global tmp dir instead of per user) is so wrong. However a temp_dir ini setting (settable per vhost) would be nice. Let see what's the other say (I'm not a fan of ENV variables ;). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-12 15:30:47] timtowdi at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ On a server with open_basedir in effect, sys_get_temp_dir() still uses the default TMPDIR environment variable (which in this case is '/tmp'). This effectively renders sys_get_temp_dir useless for me, and there is no way to override it. It would be EXTREMELY useful to be able to set the default temp directory from an ini directive, such as the session temp dir and the uploaded files temp dir. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44972&edit=1
