Note Submitter: soletan at toxa dot de ---- tempnam and SAFE MODE don't generally exclude each other - that link below just shows frustrating trials to find some meaning in SAFE MODE. However, SAFE MODE is good and I'd appreciate to find it used in more of contemporarily hyped projects like typo3 or similar, since many people don't seem to care about security that much, but get enraged by tens and hundreds of Spam-Mails a day. Okay, that post from Feb-2004 and the "bug report" is unconditionally true for multi-hosted PHP environments where several users may have their individual scripts placed on same server machine. Just take a visit to one of your local webspace-providers, that give space for 5 € or less a month. But the truth get conditional if you gain access to the server all by yourself and may set it up to have your script's and the web server's GID being same so you can "fall back" to GID-based SAFE MODE and use tempnam as desired. This is true for several local work, intranet-related projects in your company etc. Just take a look at how SAFE MODE _really_ works and why it's rockingly important to use it. You should do when you're developing a company tool for public access at least. Never forget to take a moment to think about Unix-filesystem and access rights as well ... even if you're locally running Windows to have some great IDE or similar (like me :). PHP is available on both systems, but that's not succeeding to define your work as "portable".
