I am working on linux. I made some progresses with search and
highlight app and have a little problem.
I have a script called run.php. What it does is get a pdf file and
highlight the search query by invoking the java code I work on.
if I run command prompt - php run.php, it will works.
But If I do - php app/run.php
It will complain:
Exception:
Message: mkstemp() failed to create a temporary file.

That is because it cannot create temporary files to the directory,
where the current php command execute. i.e. app/
If I set 777 to app/, it will work well, but I will not do it.
I wonder is there any solution to this problem. e.g. only write
temporary file to under app/

A: You can use PDFNet::SetTempPath("..my path..") to set the location
of temporary folder to an arbitrary location.
