note 58382 added to ref.sem

Many (most?) developers use Win32 platform for PHP Web applications development while production servers mostly run Unix/Linux OS. Below is the stub code I use to make it possible to write scripts on Win32 that use semaphores: <?php if (substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == 'WIN') { // if Windows OS detected function ftok($pathname, $proj) { if (empty($pathname) || !file_exists($pathname)) { // an error occured return -1; } $pathname = $pathname . (string) $proj; $key = array(); while (sizeof($key) < strlen($pathname)) { $key[] = ord(substr($pathname, sizeof($key), 1)); } return dechex(array_sum($key)); } function sem_acquire($sem_identifier) { return true; } function sem_get($key, $max_acquire = null, $perm = null, $auto_release = null) { return true; } function sem_release($sem_identifier) { return true; } function sem_remove($sem_identifier) { return true; } } ?> Of course, there is no way to test semaphores until you have no Unix/Linux test server. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sem.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58382 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58382&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58382&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58382&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58382&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58382&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58382&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58382&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58382&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
