makeTemporaryDirectory(string|array<string|int, string>|null $path[, int $permission = 0755 ]) : string

The sub‑path is appended to sys_get_temp_dir() de la même manière que getTemporaryDirectory() :

  • null → the temp dir itself
  • 'cache' → /tmp/cache
  • ['my', 'app'] → /tmp/my/app
Parameters
$path : string|array<string|int, string>|null

Optional sub‑directory path segments.

$permission : int = 0755

Octal mode for mkdir() (default: 0755).

// 1) Ensure /tmp/reports exists
$reportsDir = makeTemporaryDirectory('reports');

// 2) Ensure /tmp/my/app/cache exists
$cacheDir = makeTemporaryDirectory(['my','app','cache'], 0700);

// 3) Just return /tmp itself
$tmp = makeTemporaryDirectory(null);
