**Temptation** is a simple PHP library for creating temporary files and directories that clean up after themselves.

```
composer require icecave/temptation

```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
use Icecave\Temptation\Temptation;

// Use the temptation object to create files and directories ...
$temptation = new Temptation();

// Create a temporary file ...
$file = $temptation->createFile();

// Use the temporary file ...
file_put_contents($file->path(), 'This is my temp file.');

// Don't do anything else!
// The temporary file is automatically deleted when the $file object goes out of scope.
```
