Oya:
i keep bringing them up as the principle example of where php is accessing the system temp folder under non chrooted credentials, which argues with your suggestion about having a physical and virtual temp folder, ultimately they could well be one and the same

and you sit there and say that users don't use such hosts - they do. regularly. repeatedly. even when they've been advised not to. keeping stuff out of the system temp folder is a very good idea generally, be it session data or mod data

holodoc:
I believe this would be a perfect place to explain my signature  :D

--- Code: ---<?php
abstract class Ignorance extends Stupidity implements Unavoidable { 
     public static $humiliation; 

     private function __construct(){
parent::__destruct();
 }; 
} 
?>
--- End code ---
In other words ignorance is something that people usually implement alone in their own way but in the end it inevitably destroys (or at least damages) themselves :D

Bottom line is that you can't always blame the software for your site being hacked or important information being destroyed. How many people do you know which have never created a backup of their web site or forum? I personally know a lot of them but it doesn't prevent me from making daily backups of every web site, application or forum I manage or have made :) You alone are the person which determines how safe you want your web sites to be and if you fail on such significant task as choosing a reliable web hosting provider you can't actually blame anyone else but yourself after you get hacked right? :)

Oya:
yeah i saw your signature, thought it was hilarious, just waiting for someone to actually define the interface Unavoidable now really :P

yes its all too true how many people dont back up regularly, dont bother to read things before trying them

but id argue it is the responsibility of the app developer to avoid developing in a way that encourages problems - going back to the original point, the system temp folder is volatile and generally should not be trusted for serious applications where executable code is potentially at stake in a shared environment and smf already avoids using the shared temp area for sessions, extending stuff back into the shared area instead of avoiding it is a bad idea - i guess thats what ive been trying to get at

kurosaki00:
Im having this problem too.
By adding the temp folder, I wont crash my site?
I think this happeend to me once.

N. N.:
It won't do any harm. Please try adding it, and make sure it's chmodded as 755, or if that doesn't work, 775, or 777.
