@Robert I know windows has problems with moving files that are opened by other processes, BUT this still works fine on Windows 10 running on NTFS: <?php $h = tmpfile(); $path = stream_get_meta_data($h)['uri']; var_dump(rename($path, __DIR__.'/test.f')); ?> rename returns true and the file really is moved (and the file is no longer automatically deleted - i suspect PHP's tmpfile() try to delete the original path on cleanup, and don't keep track of renames/movings)
