Hi,

I have got a script to create a temp file using:


Now you can set the location directory of this file using:


But that puts the temp file in a directory in the /tmp directory. Something like:


My question is how can I set a directory to hold these new temp files somewhere else in the file structure? Somewhere like /home/me/public_html/thisplace_here/



Thanks for any advice

Should have said that just putting the path in $dir just gives an error.

Perhaps you have spaces in the path? Are you escaping backslashes, if you're using backslashes? (You don't mention your system.)
