We have older version of PHP on our server so I cant find an alternative for reading system temp directory path – Mangesh Sathe Aug 25 '16 at 12:41

3If you need a compat layer for `tempnam` does that mean you're running php3? – castis Aug 25 '16 at 12:41

sys_get_temp_dir exists in php 7 – Robert Aug 25 '16 at 12:42

3I think the issue in that case is that you're using a version of PHP that hasn't been developed, secured or supported in any way for 8+ years... – Jonnix Aug 25 '16 at 12:46

Which version of PHP 4.*? Do you mean 4.3? Please edit this into your question. – halfer Aug 25 '16 at 12:49

As stop-gap measure for outdated setups consider the [upgradephp](https://github.com/Polycademy/upgradephp) shim. – mario Aug 25 '16 at 13:28

tempnam exists in PHP4
You can use this code from php.net to get a temp dir:
if ( !function_exists('sys_get_temp_dir')) {
function sys_get_temp_dir() {
if (!empty($_ENV['TMP'])) { return realpath($_ENV['TMP']); }
if (!empty($_ENV['TMPDIR'])) { return realpath( $_ENV['TMPDIR']); }
if (!empty($_ENV['TEMP'])) { return realpath( $_ENV['TEMP']); }
$tempfile=tempnam(__FILE__,'');
if (file_exists($tempfile)) {
unlink($tempfile);
return realpath(dirname($tempfile));
}
return null;
}
}

some of people think it is not a unique question and is related with other question so they give negative voting. But they don't know the exact reason for the user or not ask the reason for asking the question from the posting user. – Bhavin Thummar Aug 31 '20 at 05:10
