note 97528 added to function.wincache-lock

User should be aware that character '\' is not allowed as part of lock name. The reason why backslash is not allowed is because we are using CreateMutex call as described at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682411(VS.85).aspx. As per this article third parameter cannot have '\' character which is the lock name. This means below code will not work. <?php $ret_val = wincache_lock("C:\WINDOWS\Temp/cache"); echo $ret_val . '<br>'; $ret_val = wincache_unlock("C:\WINDOWS\Temp/cache"); echo $ret_val . '<br>'; ?> ---- Server IP: 192.41.40.227 Probable Submitter: 131.107.0.71 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wincache-lock.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97528 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97528/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97528/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97528/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97528/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97528/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97528/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97528 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97528 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
