Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.3 Block user comment: N New Comment: Related: bug #51771.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53316&edit=1
