Description: ------------ From http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364992.aspx The function tempdir() in System.php must return first TMP and then TEMP. Test script: --------------- <?php header('Content-Type: text/plain'); require_once 'System.php'; echo "getenv('TMP') : ".getenv('TMP').PHP_EOL; echo "getenv('TEMP') : ".getenv('TEMP').PHP_EOL; echo "System::tmpdir(): ".System::tmpdir(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- getenv('TMP') : C:/Apache2.2/tmp getenv('TEMP') : C:/WINDOWS/temp System::tmpdir(): C:/Apache2.2/tmp Actual result: -------------- getenv('TMP') : C:/Apache2.2/tmp getenv('TEMP') : C:/WINDOWS/temp System::tmpdir(): C:/WINDOWS/temp

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better. the patch breaks BC for unix, and so I removed all changes to unix. Also, I removed all of the unnecessary if/elseif (return concludes the statement, no need to overtax the parser) Also, I do not want tmpdir() to suddenly start returning the cwd(), this is a major BC break. The docs do not expect tmpdir() to work exactly like getTempPath() on Windows 95 - especially in modern windows versions.
