[PHP] temporary image

[Michael Mehlmann]

hallo,

my applications generates a html-page, with a link to an image.
this image is created by the application, and should exist only temporarily
- so it can be deleted after being accessed by the html-page - any ideas how
to implement this? is working with timetamps (microseconds) safe for creating
the image's unique name?

thanks
michi

Hi!

You may want to check out the tempnam() function -- it's under filesystem 
functions in the downloadable documentation.

On the other hand if you want to keep track of the number of files generated 
you might want to try something like this:

  $i=1;
  $thePath=$temp_dir./$fileprefix;
  while (file_exists($thePath.$i))
  {
$i++;
  }
  $thePath.=$i;

($thePath stores a valid temp filename after that)
