Doc #53316 [NEW]: Locks still do not have to be removed manually.

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Locks still do not have to be removed manually. Description: ------------ Documentation at http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.flock.php contains phrase "The automatic unlocking when the file's resource handle is closed was removed. Unlocking now always has to be done manually." Although it no longer calls flock(LOCK_UN) upon encountering fclose(), lock still becomes released by OS when file is closed. So, the phrase "unlocking now always has to be done manually" sounds confusing. Unlocking is still automatic just like it was bore. The only thing that changed is that now it's done not at PHP user side, but inside OS kernel. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53316&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53316&r=mysqlcfg
