This might just be how PHP stores session variables--not sure.
That's just how PHP stores session variables. You can change the
directory in php.ini. (If using memcached, we also have a module to
store sessions in memcached.) PHP's safe_mode, open_basedir etc
settings should not affect session files as far as I know (and should
thus be a good way to keep one user's scripts from snarfing another's
session files).
PHP may also store uploaded files temporarily in /tmp, again this is
configurable in php.ini. I'm less sure about whether open_basedir would
affect it.
I've taken a quick grep through 1.4, and the only place I see /tmp
being explicitly used outside of the test suites is in diff merging,
where it tries to shell out to diff3.
None of this should trigger on an include statement in the installer...
