note 44344 added to function.fopen

To check if a file is in use (Windows), for example if an exe-file is running, you can do the following: <?php @$inuse = fopen('c:\programtocheck.exe','ab'); if ($inuse) { print "file in use"; fclose($inuse); } else { print "file not in use"; }; ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44344 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44344&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44344&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
