I think there is a misconception of the usefulness of fsync() here.
First of all it does not *really* guarantee the data is safe from power outages
etc, see
https://stackoverflow.com/a/706688
https://stackoverflow.com/a/725742
and other answers in that thread.
Secondly I'd rather rely on something like a proper DB if not losing any data
is crucial.
Trying to implement it in pure PHP and plain old files seems like using the
wrong tools for the job to me.
While there is little reason not to add fsync() to PHP the importance and
benefits are IMHO not that big.
