note 93657 added to function.flock

Manual says that " # LOCK_NB if you don't want flock() to block while locking. (not supported on Windows) " , but it's actually supported on windows! (at least in php 5.2.3), and behavior of flock("file" , LOCK_EX) and flock("file" , LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB) is different! In case of LOCK_EX, if file is locked flock() will wait (don't know for how long) until lock is released and never return false, and if option is LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB then flock will return false immediately if file is locked (and return true otherwise) Took me about an hour to figure this out :) Tested on windows2000, apache 2.2 , php 5.2.3 . I think manual should be updated ! ---- Server IP: 78.41.111.4 Probable Submitter: 81.23.157.26 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flock.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93657 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93657/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93657/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93657/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93657/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93657/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93657/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93657 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93657 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
