The temp control moves a rod which is accessed from the passenger footwell. This rod simply moves a flap which mixes the hot air with cold. If you climb in the passenger footwell head first you should be able to find it and bodge it fully hot for the meantime. The only other function the dial has is that at fully cold, it cuts the water off to the heater matrix, but assuming you didn't break it off at fully cold it should be ok.
When you find a new switch, you should be able to do it all from the front and the footwells although I've never tried. You get reasonable access from the stereo opening and the ashtray.
Candles.
PS I hope I've focussed on the right problem here as your post isn't hugely clear as to what has snapped.
