note 114928 added to function.flock

if you are used to reply with qualified error messages by using "track_errors = 1" and $php_errormsg, flock() will nark you, if you use LOCK_NB . If flock() fails due to LOCK_NB $php_errormsg will not be created and filled with an error message like 'could not lock file, file already locked'. You can use some little workaround which does also on WIN: #--------------------------------- GLOBAL $MYERRORMSG; function some_file_operations($filename) { GLOBAL $MYERRORMSG; # ... # ... if (! @flock($fh, LOCK_SH | LOCK_NB, $wb)) { if (!isset($php_errormsg)) $php_errormsg = 'could not lock file, file already locked'; $MYERRORMSG = $php_errormsg; return false; } } #-------------------------------- In case of fail $MYERRORMSG now will hold a qualified error message ---- Server IP: 87.106.1.137 Probable Submitter: 80.140.115.157 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.flock.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114928 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114928/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114928/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114928/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114928/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114928/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114928/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114928 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114928 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
