Question

I have uploaded a file using HTML / PHP and following is the print_r() of the $_FILES[‘file’] array:

Array
(
    [name] => Chrysanthemum.jpg
    [type] => application/octet-stream
    [tmp_name] => G:\xampp\tmp\php82DB.tmp
    [error] => 0
    [size] => 879394
)

As you can see above, the temp file is stored in the tmp_name directory. I need to get that directory path using PHP. How do I get it ?

Tried using sys_get_temp_dir() but this is what it returns me.

I do NOT want to get the directory from the array or from the file upload data. I want to dynamically get the php file uploads directory using a function.

C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp

Answer 1

$tmp_dir = ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') ? ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') : sys_get_temp_dir();
