    • tempnam() leaves files in /tmp

    Posted by zwoop posts: 13

    I noticed every page access to my Tiki would leave an empty file in /tmp. I tracked this down to line 107 in tiki-setup.php, in TikiSetup::tempdir();

    if (!$tempdir) {
    $tempdir = dirnamefalse, ;
    }

    The file generated by tempnam() is obviously not removed. In my case, I simply "solved" this by always returning a static path for /tmp, but I'm guessing a "real" solution would involve cleaning this up (or use the /tmp configuration parameter ?).

    Seems like you have half solved the problem already. There's already a bug logged for it on the SF site: #798550. I suggest that you add your findings to the bug report and hope it will help the developers to fix the problem.

    The fix change;

    $tempdir = dirname....

    to

    $tempfile = tempnam( false, '' );
    $tempdir = dirname( $tempfile );
    unlink( $tempfile );

    I have update the cvs .. will get the bug fixed too.

    Thanks Larry,

    When you have updated the CVS with the bugfix then please also close the bug on SF. 😀

    Regards.
