Re: File locking problem

This may also be a problem at some point, but currently I'm just trying to get it working in an test environment where only one instance is running. I know I can just use another empty file as a semaphore, but my performance is already killed by having to use FTP to create and delete files with PHP, and I need to do whatever I can do avoid it. Basically, it appears that using fflush() and fclose() is no guarantee that a file is completely written, and I'm wondering what I can do besides insert sleep() statements. -- Charles Wiltgen "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath.
