    Hi guys,

    I'm almost done with my script, did quite some testing (generated over 200 files),... and I'm looking at my /tmp dir right now :(
    How can I make this lib removing its tmp files after rendering?
    Should be default behaviour right?

    Tnx so far ;)

    require_once('/var/www/Core/0.1/Includes/phpdocx/classes/CreateDocx.inc');
    class Tools_Docx extends createDocx{


    /**
    * Delete all tempfiles.
    * MAKE SURE YOU USE A SEPATE DIRECTORY FOR PHPDOCX IN YOUR /TMP DIR!!!!
    * This will DELETE all files in the directory you passed in the constructor!!!!
    *
    */
    public function cleanUp(){
    $this->_recurseDelete($this->getTemporaryDirectory());
    }

    private function _recurseDelete($path){
    if(is_dir($path)){
    $dirs=scandir($path);
    $c=count($dirs);
    for($i=0;$i<$c;$i++){
    if($dirs[$i]!='.'&&$dirs[$i]!='..'){
    $this->_recurseDelete($path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $dirs[$i]);
    }
    }
    if($path!=$this->getTemporaryDirectory()){
    rmdir($path);
    }
    }else{
    unlink($path);
    }
    }
    }

    Hello,

    Each server should take care of temp files. I recommend you to do a cron task that delete them or use default config (on restart or depending on the disk space); but if you prefer to remove each temp file in CreateDocx class, just add this code:

    unlink($this->_tempFile);

    in line 4411. If you're using templates add this:

    unlink($fileName);

    after line 4587.

    Regards.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply, I allready created a for me (for now) valid solution, If it needs to be more specific I will change that later.

    Btw: I do honestly disagree with your solution as I can't know from with the cron or one of those the temp files is used or not.
    By that my server does NOT restart ;) ,.. and I can not use the default /tmp dir as this would have some security issues.
    And finally: if I need to write cron-jobs for every script that creates tmp files,.. for every site that is beeing hosted....

    :( I'll endup beeing a cron-programmer :(

    However, thanks for your reply!
