HELP! tempnam(); function confusion

### Why does this code: $tmpfname = tempnam( "/tmp", "PErq" ); echo "file made '$tmpfname'<BR>"; echo "$tmpfname<BR>"; $tempfile = fopen( "$tmpfname", "w" ); echo "file open '$tempfile'<BR>"; $num = count( $query_results ); for( $i=0; $i<$num; $i++ ) { fwrite( "$tempfile", "\t<LI<STRONG>$query_results[$i]</STRONG><LI>\r" ); echo "file written to '$tempfile'<BR>"; } fclose( "$tempfile" ); echo "file closed '$tempfile'<BR>"; ### produce this: file made '/tmp/PErq000730' /tmp/PErq000730 file open '16' file written to '16' file closed '16' Where is the 16 coming from? when I place a "/" or "/tmp" in the fopen() function then it will display the '/tmp/PErq000730', but the path is wrong then (i.e. Warning: fopen("/tmp//tmp/PErq000732","w") - No such file or directory) Is there another way to return the filename with tempnam()? Any help would be great... thanks in advance! -- C. Marcera ========== Press Enterprise, Inc. Computer & Network Services
