(PHP 4, PHP 5)
tempnam — Create file with unique file name
$dir
, string $prefix
)Creates a file with a unique filename, with access permission set to 0600, in the specified directory. If the directory does not exist, tempnam() may generate a file in the system's temporary directory, and return the full path to that file, including its name.
dirThe directory where the temporary filename will be created.
prefixThe prefix of the generated temporary filename.
Notă: Windows uses only the first three characters of prefix.
Returns the new temporary filename (with path), or FALSE on
failure.

| 4.0.6 |
Prior to PHP 4.0.6, the behaviour of the
tempnam() function was system dependent. On
Windows the TMP environment variable will override the
dir parameter, on Linux the TMPDIR
environment variable has precedence, while SVR4 will always use
your dir parameter if the directory it
points to exists. Consult your system documentation on the
tempnam(3) function if in doubt.
|
| 4.0.3 | This function's behavior changed in 4.0.3. The temporary file is also created to avoid a race condition where the file might appear in the filesystem between the time the string was generated and before the script gets around to creating the file. Note, that you need to remove the file in case you need it no more, it is not done automatically. |
Example #1 tempnam() example
<?php
$tmpfname = tempnam("/tmp", "FOO");
$handle = fopen($tmpfname, "w");
fwrite($handle, "writing to tempfile");
fclose($handle);
// do here something
unlink($tmpfname);
?>
Notă: If PHP cannot create a file in the specified
dirparameter, it falls back on the system default. On NTFS this also happens if the specifieddircontains more than 65534 files.
