Unable to open temporary file

[Anon]

Hello
I have this script:
<?php

header("Content-type: image/gif");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Cache-Control: no-store");

$txtstr = "STEREOTYPE";

$x_size = (strlen($txtstr) * 5)+2;
$y_size = 10;
$font = 1;

$im = imagecreate($x_size, $y_size); $black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);

imagefill($im, 1, 1, $black);
imagestring($im, $font, 1, 1, $txtstr, $white);

ImageGif($im);
ImageDestroy($im);

?>

• it works just fine locally, but when I upload it to: http://scripts.abusiness.dk/test.php I get the following error:

Warning: Unable to open temporary file in d:\webs\scripts.abusiness.dk\wwwroot\test.php on line 21

Thats the: ImageGif($im);

Here's some other facts:
I run this script on a win2k/IIS5, and thats the same locally. I use the exact same php3.ini file on the webserver as locally.
The following folders have "Everyone" "Full Control":
c:\temp
c:\tmp
c:\winnt\temp
c:\winnt\tmp
d:\webs\scripts.abusiness.dk\wwwroot\

I don't know where PHP puts this temporary file. Does anyone know it?

I know this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer to it.

Well, i've fixed it temporary but not an optimal solution.
In IIS I selected the sites properties.
Directory Security -> Anonymous access and authentication control [Edit]
Account used for anonymous access [Edit]
Then I selected the administrator account and Allow IIS to control password.

This supports my theory that a folder doesn't have the right writing permissions.

If you have a better solution please let me know.

The temporary directory is c:\

so you can do this at command line:
cacls c:\ /e /G <your-domain>\IUSR_<computername>:F

Hi krisaman
I tried to do exactly as you told but it didn't work.

I thought - Why is it the temp path C:\ - when it says c:\winnt\temp in my phpinfo(). Then I thougth that there has to be a reson why you said C:\ - you must have tried the same thing. I finally firgured out that the default wwwroot is located in c:\inetpub\wwwroot - and I use f:\webs\scripts\wwwroot. So I tried to do as you said just on f:\ ....... AND IT WORKED!

Thanx for guiding me to the answer...
