PHP flock? - GoFuckYourself.com

Dusen · 03-03-2005, 07:09 AM

Based on another thread I thought I'd ask this in a new one.

Is there any way using flock to 'queue' the file writes in php? All I see is examples how to say "can't get lock" and then die.

I tried a quick google on it and didn't find anything. I suspect PHP would need to have a "threaded" process, where individual threads had a "wait until ready" state on the file lock, which I don't think PHP has. If it's doable though, I'd definitively like to know.

I dont know but you could try adding a sleep(1) then loop and try again

Yeah put the lock in a while loop

Wicked guys, thanks.

According to this:

You don't even need to use a while loop?

The file locking mechanism in PHP automatically makes processes queue up for their locks by default. For example, save this next script as flock.php:

I'll test it now.
