Load temp html file

[ManWithNoName]

When you process a PHP page, and when it outputs a HTML file, it is (in my case at least) a temporary file, saved in a "temp" directory.

I was wondering how, if possible, one could get a hold of that file.

I need either to load the file, or get the entire string.

[ManWithNoName]

sys_get_temp_dir() (http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.sys-get-temp-dir.php) gives me the directory, now onwards to figure out how to get the file name...

Hmm... I see a light at the end of the $_ENV ...

What the, how do you use sys_get_temp_dir()???

... And how do you use $_ENV, the constants "TMP, TMPDIR, TEMP" doesn't work (returns "Undefined index")...

"These variables are imported into PHP's global namespace from the environment under which the PHP parser is running. Many are provided by the shell under which PHP is running and different systems are likely running different kinds of shells, a definitive list is impossible." (http://se2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.environment)

... OK... sigh Apache, here I come... No, wait: http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.getenv.php

More EDIT: phpinfo can show you path to temp dir.'s and the function getenv() could be useful.

I'll give up... I found a different approach to my problem anyway...

However it would be fun to know the answer to this question... And because I can not delete a thread, I'll have to leave it open.

To people from the future: leave a post if you know the answer.
