System::mkTemp()

Description

Parameter

• $args - the arguments, see the "Example" section

  • prefix - The string that will be prepended to the temp name (defaults to "tmp").

  • -d - A temporal dir will be created instead of a file.

  • -t - The target dir where the temporal file or dir will be created. If this param is missing by default System::tmpDir() will be used to find it.

Returns

• mixed - PEAR_Error or the full path of the created file or dir

The mkTemp() will use internally System::tmpDir() to find the correct temporal directory reading the properly system environment variables.

Example

$tempfile = System::mktemp("prefix");
$tempdir  = System::mktemp("-d prefix");
$tempfile = System::mktemp();
$tempfile = System::mktemp("-t /var/tmp prefix");
