Comment(by ocean90):

 ''get_temp_dir()'' returns  ''/var/www/web39/phptmp/''. And that is my
 ''upload_tmp_dir''

 The problem, is that ''tmpfile()'' doesn't use the temp dir which
 ''get_temp_dir'' returns. It use /tmp. But this directory is not in my
 open_basedir list. [[BR]]

 Here are some sites, which explain the problem:
  * http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40141
  * http://php.net/manual/en/function.tmpfile.php#74623
  * http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=146437 [[BR]]

 So, I don't know if we can fix it in the core, eventually do not use
 tmpfile()?[[BR]]
 But I contacted also my webhoster, if they can add the tmp directory to
 open_basedir. Wait for an answer and then I check it again.[[BR]]
 But if it works by me then, then its not fixed globally, only for me and
 some other users from my webhoster and not for
 [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define('WP_TEMP_DIR',+ABSPATH+.+'wp-
 content/tmp'); other users].
