With an eye toeard reducing the time my app has a file locked, I came up with the following which doesn't require two fopen()'s: $fp=fopen("reqid","a+"); if ($fp !=0 && flock($fp,2) && fseek($fp,0)==0){ fscanf($fp,"%d",&$id); $id++; ftruncate($fp,0); fwrite($fp,$id); } fclose($fp); I'm not positive this is faster, but it seems cleaner to me.
