Re: Delete temporary images after loading website

also tried writing a shell script with the same functionality hoping

terminate the php script before the images were deleted.
Didn't work either.
Does anyone have an idea? I do not want to use a cron job or something
to clean the temporary directory.
Are there any php only solutions to this problem?

Cheers!

How about having the PHP script accept parameters on the query string, generate to your graph in an inline IMG tag eg.

<img src="gengraph?p1=100&p2=200 ..." />

PHP script generates img, returns it to the browser, then deletes the files.

Is the problem that you don't know what the temporary files are called or that they always have same name?
