PHP create random tmp file and get its full path
tmpfile returns a stream-able file pointer.
To get the corresponding path, ask the stream for its meta data:
$file = tmpfile();$path = stream_get_meta_data($file)['uri']; // eg: /tmp/phpFx0513aThe benefit of the tmpfile approach? PHP automatically removes the $path when $file goes out of scope. With tempnam, you must manually remove the created file.
