Creates a file with a unique filename in the specified directory.

Compatibility: normal paths and stream wrappers.
Parameters
string $directory: The directory where the temporary filename will be created.
string $prefix: The prefix of the generated temporary filename. Note: Windows uses only the first three characters of prefix.
Return value
string|bool The new temporary filename, or FALSE on failure.
