[Solved] Saving Temp File Outside of Doc Root

[eluser]CoffeeBeanDesign[/eluser]
This is odd. I tried the following -

Code:

$filename = realpath('../tmp/myfile.xsl');

I removed the unlink part of the script to check where it was saving the file. The file was successfully attached and sent but I cant find the file anywhere on the server. There is no 'tmp' directory in my /var/www/ folder as expected, (one up from the doc root). I've searched everywhere for the file but can't find it.

I'm happy that the temp file is now outside the doc root but slightly concerned I have no idea where it is being saved...!!

There is one factor I haven't mentioned which shouldn't but may be affecting things, I'm using a temporary domain - http://myserver.com/mysite.com/ this could change the relative locations of directories (although I'm fairly sure it wouldn't).
