note 42715 added to function.ftok

Missing ftok() on Windows? Here's my little workaround: <?php if( !function_exists('ftok') ) { function ftok($filename = "", $proj = "") { if( empty($filename) || !file_exists($filename) ) { return -1; } else { $filename = $filename . (string) $proj; for($key = array(); sizeof($key) < strlen($filename); $key[] = ord(substr($filename, sizeof($key), 1))); return dechex(array_sum($key)); } } }?> NOTE: There *may* be duplicate keys, even if probability is low. The key's were NOT computed like the original UNIX ftok() because i.e. fileinode() is also missing on windows. Normally ftok() computes a key based on the file inode and the system minor id of the harddrive the file resides. Behaviour is like PHPs ftok(), -1 is returned if file is missing or $filename is empty, computed int as hex on success. -- Regards, David Rech ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftok.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42715 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42715&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42715&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
