Description:
------------
tempnam() will truncate the second argument after 63 characters 

see: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/bbcfa66e06110d8256595e644378a5358dda3558/ext/standard/file.c#L836-L839

introduced in commit : 
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/4ca3df56d356ed8c3b55695ed588783e3f91378c

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(tempnam('/tmp', 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbcdefghijklm'));

string(74) "/tmp/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbFkS7ld"

Expected result:
----------------
It should be documented, also maybe either do not truncate or warn if there is a truncation.

Actual result:
--------------
Silent truncation.

Since this truncation happens as of PHP 5.1.3, in my opinion just
documenting the fact should be sufficient.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
