Bug description:CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE '' raises open_basedir restriction

Description:
------------
Hello,

When setting CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, I am finding that '' is raising the
error:

Warning: curl_setopt_array(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is
not within the allowed path(s): (/opt/www/:/usr/local/php/)

This suggests it is checking the string '' against open_basedir.
The documentation for CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE says:

"If the name is an empty string, no cookies are loaded, but cookie handling
is still enabled."

I was told in FreeNode #php that '' actually uses a temporary file.
If this is true, it should be performing the check after it has chosen a
temporary filename.

So essentially the bug I am reporting is that the order of these two checks
is switched. As it stands, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE '' is useless with
open_basedir enabled.
