Hi all,
I am having troubling understanding something with the tempnam function.
Given this code:
<?php
$tmpfname = tempnam("/tmp", "FOO");
$handle = fopen($tmpfname, "w");
fwrite($handle, "writing to tempfile");
fclose($handle);
// do here something
unlink($tmpfname);
?>
I expected the code to create an unique file name in the /tmp directory (this directory already exists) of the current location of my file running it. However, the code produced a file in the location C:\WINDOWS\FOOB5.tmp. Which is apparently where my "system's temporary directory" is...I was looking at the phpinfo() results and I couldn't find any reference to this system temporary directory.
Could someone enlighten me on why it is placing the unique file in the system temporary directory and not the /tmp directory?
