Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report

Stefano's report of the change in behaviour of tempnam when given a relative path 
is accurate. Therefore at the very least this change should have been mentioned in 
the change log.
