Can someone explain the following to me:

<?php
$d=tempnam(".","dir");          /* create a temp named file */
unlink($d);                     /* unlink it because we're going to make it a 
directory */
mkdir($d,777,true);             /* make the directory */
echo "$d is ". (is_dir($d)?'':'NOT')." a directory\n";


$f=tempnam($d,"file");          /* using the first directory, create a new
temp named file */
unlink($f);                     /* unlink it as we're going to make it a 
directory */
mkdir($f,777,true);             /* make the directory */
echo "$f is ". (is_dir($f)?'':'NOT')." a directory\n";
?>

/Users/tamara/Sites/gallery/lib/common/t/dirGuWOLW is  a directory
/private/var/folders/pI/pIx-p0mhH5eEQ64yAiDQmE+++TI/-Tmp-/fileC7Rnzg
is  a directory

Why isn't the second tempnam using the directory path I pass to it?

The strange thing I notice is that if I pass in a directory path to
tempnam that was NOT created initially by tempnam, it works:

miishka:t tamara$ mkdir a
miishka:t tamara$ php -r 'echo
tempnam("/Users/tamara/Sites/gallery/lib/common/t/a","file").PHP_EOL;'
/Users/tamara/Sites/gallery/lib/common/t/a/filepSwRzF
miishka:t tamara$
