Re: tmpnam filename

Why do you use tmpfile and not tempnam, as you write it in the header of your message ? it returns the name of the file, as you expect... string tempnam ( string dir, string prefix) Then, you'll just need to open the file returned by tempnam and write all data inside... regards Eric "Rus Foster" <rghf@fsck.me.uk> a écrit dans le message de news: 20020829111411.M47856-100000@freebsd.rf0.com... > Hi All, > I'm fairly new to this list/PHP and I've already hit a bit of a brick > wall.
