From: lvdgraaff at gmail dot com Operating system: Mac OS 10.5.3 PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: putenv("TMPDIR=... doens't always sets the TMPDIR
Description: ------------ Due to a bug with the ftp_*list functions I had to set the TMPDIR manually. [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28865] But, to my surprise, this doesn't ALWAYS work correctly. I'll demonstrate it with the function sys_get_temp_dir and tmpfile. Details: If the putenv fails, than it doesn't work to direct try it again. I really have to wait for a few seconds, before a retry will be succesfull. When it works again, it does it for a few minutes. I use PHP 5.2.5, but I saw no issues in the changelog witch seem to be related to this. Reproduce code: --------------- <? putenv("TMPDIR=/Users/lvdgraaff/Web/www/compile/tmp"); echo "GET ENV: \t" . getenv("TMPDIR") . "\n"; echo "SGTD: \t\t" . sys_get_temp_dir() . "\n"; print_r(tmpfile()); NOTE: this was the only code in the whole file Expected result: ---------------- GET ENV: /Users/lvdgraaff/Web/www/compile/tmp SGTD: /Users/lvdgraaff/Web/www/compile/tmp Resource id #2 NOTE: I get this, most of the time, but not ALL the time. Actual result: -------------- GET ENV: /Users/lvdgraaff/Web/www/compile/tmp SGTD: /var/folders/4T/4TDJmSQYGV04rPNp5PKZ2++++TI/-Tmp-/ (note: no resource, but an empty line!)
