note 53882 added to function.fwrite

I think there is a tiny delay in writing to the file... It took me +- 7 hours unitl I found this error (nut a bug actually). I'm working on a site where you first write the status to a file, and then let other functions check the status. The problem is, that when you refresh the site prety fast or have a lot of users on it, it gives an error when parsing the data in the file. I did use the "fclose($file);" command, and checked very thourougly that it did come from the writing to the status file. I also execute is_writable($file) or is_readable($file) in every function that requires it when calling the file. The only possible solution I seem o find is to update the status less, every 60 sec or so, and call the sleep(1); command to let the script wait for the file to be written. My best guess is that this error appears because of the Windows cache ? (I write a new file, not appending to the previous one.) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53882 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53882&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53882&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53882&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53882&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53882&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53882&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53882&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
