Re: [phpesp-general] Exporting CSV file

[David L. <lio...@co...>]

Hi Jack --

This is what I found on the subject:


====================
KNOWN BUGS IN PHPESP
====================

- Data export files are dumped in /tmp and owned by the web server
  user.  A work around for this is to change the 'home' of a user in
  the authentication library in use.
  [ admin/include/lib/espauth-default.inc:170 ]
  [ admin/include/lib/espauth-ldap.inc:229 ]

The line in admin/include/lib/espauth-default.inc is

                'home' => '/tmp'

I assume this could be set to anything.
(The reason it's an issue is obviously that survey designers may not be
local users on the server.)

Cheers,
David
