Req #61492 [NEW]: flock for php 5.3.2 - regression

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.10 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:flock for php 5.3.2 - regression Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flock.php "On versions of PHP before 5.3.2, the lock is released also by fclose() (which is also called automatically when script finished)." This is huge regression. I've used with success file locking to check if another instance of file is already running putting code like this in front of the script or append_script $h55 = fopen($_SERVER['argv'][0],"r"); while(!flock($h55, LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB )) { echo "cant get lock, die\n"; die(); } or $h55 = fopen($_SERVER['argv'][0],"r"); while(!flock($h55, LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB )) { echo "cant get lock, waiting 10s\n"; sleep(10); } I've used it for scripts that had variable running time with a crontab. Now it is all impossible thanks to that change :( -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61492&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61492&r=mysqlcfg
