==============

[](#temporary-file)

- PHP 7.1

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a temporary file using path to existing file (file is copied)

```
$temporaryFile = \SevenD\TemporaryFile::createFromPath('file.txt');

```

Create a temporary file using string content

```
$temporaryFile = \SevenD\TemporaryFile::createFromContents('This is file contents', 'txt');

```

Create a temporary file using a file resource (file is copied)

```
$fh = fopen('file.txt', 'r+');
$temporaryFile = \SevenD\TemporaryFile::createFromResource($fh, 'txt');

```

Create a temporary file from a valid SplFileObject (file is copied)

```
$splFileObject = new \SplFileObject('file.txt');
$temporaryFile = \SevenD\TemporaryFile::createFromSplFileObject($splFileObject);

```

Set the persist mode for the temporary file

```
$temporaryFile->persistUntil(\SevenD\TemporaryFile::PERSIST_UNTIL_DESTRUCT); // Temporary file is removed from the filesystem when the TemporaryFile object destructs [Default behaviour]
$temporaryFile->persistUntil(\SevenD\TemporaryFile::PERSIST_UNTIL_SHUTDOWN); // Temporary file is removed from the filesystem when the script execution ends and the shutdown functions are run

```
