How to determine the system TEMP folder 1

[manitoba]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get the temp folder path from PHP? I am looking for a function that will return something like "/tmp" or "C:\WINDOWS\Temp".

Thanks.

Look at what phpinfo() yields for upload_tmp_dir:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

If you need it on the fly, figure out the variable name using phpinfo() and then use

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php

ini_get(); to retrieve the value

Thanks. I am going to use this:

getenv("TEMP");

.

Cool... be warned that's the OS's temporary directory, not PHP's. It's very possible they're the same, it's also very possible they're different.
