note 44694 added to function.flock

To jeroenl and lockwang. You're right lockwang - but I think it can be solved by adding a check of the file modification time - and deleting old lock's - say 10 seconds old - and then just hope that whatever caused the lockfile not to be deleted didn't influence the file you want to write to. So I would add these lines to jeroenl's script (after $lock=...): $filemtime=filemtime($lock); if ($filemtime and time()-$filemtime>10000) unlink($lock); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flock.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44694 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44694&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44694&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
