Yep, you are correct -- I looked it up in my old ASP 2.0 book. I have no idea if this is the case with .NET or not. The one thing I noticed with ASP is that you definitely don't have to lock reads, just writes. Which makes it better than nothing. When I last played around with PHP, I think session variables were written to disk in a flat file; as far as I know, they didn't need to be locked.
The original point of my post was that the article says two things at once. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Townend [mailto:mike@;cfnews.co.uk] > Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 11:51 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Understanding Locking In CFMX > > > ASP has a lock method which I assume should be used the same as CF's > locks... > > Application.Lock() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
