Re: temporary files

You might consider using tmpnam() instead. tmpnam() doesn't give you a 
file handle (like tmpfile() does), but rather a file name. Just pass it 
a directory (like "/tmp") and a prefix to help identify it (can be "" ). 
It returns the unique file's name, and you could open a file handle to 
it with fopen(). Keep in mind that you have to unlink() it when you're done.

Hope this helps!

Im trying to create a way of storing php scripts in a mySQL database and
then execute them using temporary files as executable script buffers..

Ive got a mysql table with 4 fields: execID, execName, execDesc and execProc
The last one contains php code.

This is what i have so far:

<?php
mysql_connect($host,$user,$pw);
mysql_select_db($db);
$query = "SELECT execProc FROM exec WHERE execID = 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
   $proc = $row['execProc'];
}
$handle = tmpfile();
fwrite($handle, $proc);
include("name of the temporary file");
fclose($handle);
?>

But i need to get the name of the tempfile in order to include it..
all i have now is the handle_id
any help appreciated.
