Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] pdf with mod_deflate and IE

[Sigurd Nes]

The file is unique named as $fname = tempnam($dir.SEP,'PDF_').'.pdf';

I don't think /tmp is a good choice - while it is not (normally)
possible to reach from the redirected browser.

I can make it configurable if that is desirable.

have a look at phpgwapi/inc/class.pdf.inc.php (HEAD)

Sigurd
