(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
tempnam — Create file with unique file name
$dir
, string $prefix
) : stringCreates a file with a unique filename, with access permission set to 0600, in the specified directory. If the directory does not exist or is not writable, tempnam() may generate a file in the system's temporary directory, and return the full path to that file, including its name.
dir
The directory where the temporary filename will be created.
prefix
The 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.
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
dir
parameter, it falls back on the system default. On NTFS this also happens if the specifieddir
contains more than 65534 files.
