tempnam() function does not support custom stream wrappers registered by stream_register_wrapper().
For example if you'll try to use tempnam() on Windows platform, PHP will try to generate unique filename in %TMP% folder (usually: C:\WINDOWS\Temp) without any warning or notice.
<?php
echo '<pre>';
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
clearstatcache();
stream_register_wrapper('test', 'MemoryStream');
mkdir('test://aaa');
mkdir('test://aaa/cc');
mkdir('test://aaa/dd');
echo 'PHP '.PHP_VERSION;
echo '<br />node exists: '.file_exists('test://aaa/cc');
echo '<br />node is writable: '.is_writable('test://aaa/cc');
echo '<br />node is dir: '.is_dir('test://aaa/cc');
echo '<br />tempnam in dir: '.tempnam('test://aaa/cc', 'tmp');
echo "<br /></pre>";
?>
ouputs:
--------------------
PHP 5.2.13
node exists: 1
node is writable: 1
node is dir: 1
tempnam in dir: C:\Windows\Temp\tmp1D03.tmp
If you want to create temporary file, you have to create your own function (which will probably use opendir() and fopen($filename, "x") functions)
