tmpnam filename

Hi All, I'm fairly new to this list/PHP and I've already hit a bit of a brick wall. I'm trying to write some data out to a temporary file then make a passthru call so that another program can take the file as input on the command line I first tried print "<p>Do stuff</p>"; $temp = tmpfile(); fwrite($temp, $text); passthru("/path/to/program $temp"); fclose($temp); // this removes the file However I realised that $temp was a file handle rather than a filename. Is there anyway I can get the filename? A google and search on php.net doesn't show anything obvious Rgds Rus -- http://www.fsck.me.uk - Rant wibble wave http://shells.fsck.me.uk - Hosting and stuff
