<?php
$f = tempnam("/tmp","foo");
?>


With PHP 4.0.1pl2, this script will return a string, but with PHP 4.0.3pl1, it will return a string and create a temporary file.

This is intentional, otherwise, the returned string is not
guaranteed to continue to be a uniqe temporary filename...

This needs to be noted in docs if it isn't already.

Thanks for the report
