fopen to the temporary directory

[philhale]

Can anyone tell me how to create a file in the temporary directory? My first fopen() resulted in a "unauthorized access" error that I believe is happening because it is trying to create the file on the website.

I want to create the file in a temporary directory.

Thank you in advance.

Phil.

<?php
// Windows
$fp = fopen ("c:\\\temp\\\\info.txt", "w");
?>

<?php
// linux
$fp = fopen ("/temp/info.txt", "w");
?>

The directory must be accessible to PHP, so you need to ensure that the file access permissions allow this access.

<?php
// Windows
$fp = fopen ("%temp%\\info.txt", "w");
?>

if on UNIX try to make sure the PHP process has read/write/execute rights on target folder.

You can create a temp folder in your dir tree structure am chmod 777 it to make sure u can access it...
