ID: 64410 Updated by: a...@php.net Reported by: md dot xytop at gmail dot com Summary: sys_get_temp_dir() returns incorrect path -Status: Feedback +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows 8 PHP Version: 5.3.22 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Ok, just tried it again with IIS+fastcgi+win8, it gives c:\windows\temp . The windows implementation uses this API function to determine the temporary dir http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364992(v=vs.85).aspx According to that docs, c:\windows is the very last fallback when none of TMP, TEMP, USERPROFILE has worked. Conclusion - this is neither PHP nor Win API issue, but an environment one. For 5.4 one of those environment variables has to be set, for 5.5+ additionally sys_temp_dir is usable.

Recently two users of the PHP Desktop project have reported problems with the temp directory on Windows 8: https://code.google.com/p/phpdesktop/issues/detail?id=23 https://code.google.com/p/phpdesktop/issues/detail?id=39 In both cases the temp directory returned by sys_get_temp_dir() is "C:\Windows". Seems like the php version doesn't matter, it happens on php 5.3, 5.4, 5.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-19 07:29:09] a...@php.net Still experiencing this issue? Couldn't repro, it's always something like C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp for me. Anything special in your setup? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-12 08:37:29] md dot xytop at gmail dot com Description: ------------ On Windows8 function sys_get_temp_dir() returns path 'C:\Windows' which is of course not correct Test script: --------------- echo sys_get_temp_dir(); // output: C:\Windows Expected result: ---------------- C:\Windows\Temp Actual result: -------------- C:\Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64410&edit=1
