note 77547 added to function.tempnam

Guillaume Paramelle's comments below are worth underlining: tempnam() will not accept a relative path for its first directory. If you pass it one, it will (on Windows XP at least) create the temporary file in the system temp directory. The easiest way to convert a relative path to an absolute path is to prepend getcwd(): <?php $file = tempnam('files/temp', 'tmp'); // Wrong! $file = tempnam(getcwd() . 'files/tmp', 'tmp') // Right. ?> ---- Server IP: 194.246.101.61 Probable Submitter: 212.155.191.21 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.tempnam.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77547 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77547/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77547/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77547/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77547/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77547/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77547/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77547 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77547 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
