Installation

The library can be installed using ncc:

ncc install -p "nosial/libs.tempfile=latest@n64"

or by adding the following to your project.json file under the build.dependencies section:

{
  "name": "net.nosial.tempfile",
  "version": "latest",
  "source_type": "remote",
  "source": "nosial/libs.tempfile=latest@n64"
}

If you don't have the n64 source configured you can add it by running the following command:

ncc source add --name n64 --type gitlab --host git.n64.cc

Compiling from source

The library can be compiled from source using ncc:

ncc build --config release

or by running the following command:

make release

Usage

Just create a class object, optionally specifying options you'd like to use.

require_once('ncc');
import('net.nosial.tempfile');

$file1 = new TempFile\TempFile();
$file2 = new TempFile\TempFile([
    TempFile\Options::Extension => 'txt',
    TempFile\Options::Prefix => 'prefix_',
    TempFile\Options::Suffix => '_suffix',
    TempFile\Options::RandomLength => 8,
    TempFile\Options::Directory => '/tmp',
]);

You can obtain the file path by using the getFilepath() method or by using the object as a string.

echo $file1->getFilepath() . PHP_EOL;
file_put_contents($file2, 'Hello World!');

Files are automatically deleted when the object is destroyed, if for some reason the __destruct() method was not properly called, a shutdown function is automatically registered to delete all the temporary files that were created.

Options

The following options are available:

• TempFile\Options::Extension - The file extension to use, defaults to 'tmp',
• TempFile\Options::Prefix - The prefix to use for the file name, empty by default,
• TempFile\Options::Suffix - The suffix to use for the file name, empty by default,
• TempFile\Options::RandomLength - The length of the random string to use for the file name, defaults to 16,
• TempFile\Options::Directory - The directory to create the file in, defaults to the system's temporary directory.
• TempFile\Options::Filename - The filename to use, if specified, the random string will not be used.
