If you want to get a temporary dictionary you could use sys_get_temp_dir(). But this doesn’t guarantee that you have write access to this dictionary. So, you can also get the upload_tmp_dir property from the php.ini file.
You can combine this for simplicity in a function:
<?php
function get_temp():string{
// Returns a temporary dictionary path.
// When it can't find one, it returns false.
if(is_writable(sys_get_temp_dir())){
return sys_get_temp_dir();
}elseif(is_writable(ini_get("upload_tmp_dir"))){
return ini_get("upload_tmp_dir");
}else{
return false;
}
}
echo get_temp();
?>
Or the short form:
<?php
function get_temp():string|bool{
return is_writable(sys_get_temp_dir())?sys_get_temp_dir():(is_writable(ini_get("upload_tmp_dir"))?ini_get("upload_tmp_dir"):false);
}
?>
