sKunKbad Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I've been uploading files, but instead of moving the files from /tmp/ to somewhere on the file system, I've been either storing them in the database, or using FTP functions to send them to another server. I'm not specifically deleting the file that is in /tmp/. I tried to find more about garbage collection, or what happens if I don't move or copy the file out of /tmp/, but have been searching for a while with no luck. If I watch my /tmp/ directory, as I do my uploads I don't even see the file in there for a second. So... Is the file only there until the script finishes, and then it gets deleted, or what? Am I making sense? My concern would be having a bunch of .tmp files building up over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
