Hello all, I have a strange problem request. I manage an FTP only server. This server is a Windows 2003 Advanced server. On it I run IIS 5.0 and PHP 4.3.2 for Win32. I am also using Windows authentication. This is I think what is causing the issue. This and the Windows function ?tmpfile()?. I have a Web page that will allow certain users once they connect on my network to perform a pass-thru FTP to a remote system on the Internet. I did this because my company does not allow direct FTP through the firewall. So now I can control the users access to certain hosts. From what I understand about PHP it will perform the FTP task like say a directory listing and write this to a temp file then PHP will build the output based on the contents of the temp file. Normally this works great. What I mean is for a user that actually logs onto the server via the console or Term services this works. But since the users are actual account but not ever connecting via the console their temp folder and various other environments under their %USERPROFILE% are never created. To be even most specific I have an admin level account that has a TEMP environment variable defined as ?%USERPROFILE%/Local Settings/Temp?. The ?%USERPROFILE%? variable is usually something like ?C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\?. I have over 1800 accounts on the server and most of these accounts need this ability. I have tried setting the ENV variables TMP and TEMP to point to another folder and can not figure out how to override the ?tmpfile()? In an old version of PHP (4.3.0RC2) I actually downloaded the complete source and built my own php.exe. I then traced through to the section in ?ext/ftp.c? where the PHP function ?ftp_rawlist()? was handled. Found that this function called another function, ?ftp_genlist()?. It is inside this function where the call was bring made to ?tmpfile()?. If the call to ?tmpfile()? aborts and returns NULL. I put in logic to provide an override to this. Basically, if the parameter ?FORCE_TMP_DIR? was defined in the php.ini configuration file and the path was valid the parser would use this as the temp folder instead of the call to ?tmpfile()?. This seemed to work. Problem is being able to upgrade. I know this is a MS issue and not particularly a PHP problem or bug. I would like to see if anyone has more insight into this issue or other suggestions. If not I would like to get code modification into the general source distribution.
