set_time_limit
I went ahead and slightly improved the function provided.
<?php
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']); }
$tempfile=tempnam(uniqid(rand(),TRUE),'');
if (file_exists($tempfile)) {
unlink($tempfile);
return realpath(dirname($tempfile));
}
}
}
?>

better use
tempnam(":\n\\/?><","");
To detect path by creating a temporary file.
A random directoryname can exist (the chance is low, but it can be).
Better is to use signs, like :\n\\/?>< which are not valid, so realy NEVER a directory with this name can exist.

This function does not always add trailing slash. This behaviour is inconsistent across systems, so you have keep an eye on it.

To add support of sys_get_temp_dir for PHP4/5, use the following code:
<?php
if ( !function_exists('sys_get_temp_dir') )
{
// Based on http://www.phpit.net/
// article/creating-zip-tar-archives-dynamically-php/2/
function sys_get_temp_dir()
{
// Try to get from environment variable
if ( !empty($_ENV['TMP']) )
{
return realpath( $_ENV['TMP'] );
}
else if ( !empty($_ENV['TMPDIR']) )
{
return realpath( $_ENV['TMPDIR'] );
}
else if ( !empty($_ENV['TEMP']) )
{
return realpath( $_ENV['TEMP'] );
}
// Detect by creating a temporary file
else
{
// Try to use system's temporary directory
// as random name shouldn't exist
$temp_file = tempnam( md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)), '' );
if ( $temp_file )
{
$temp_dir = realpath( dirname($temp_file) );
unlink( $temp_file );
return $temp_dir;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
}
}
}
?>
