If you may have loaded/altered the file system between calls to this
directory/file, you need to use:
http://php.net/clearstatcache
> if(!is_dir($cache_dir_name)) {
> mkdir($cache_dir_name, 0777);
> }
> $lock=@fopen($cache_file_name . '.lock','w');
> if(flock($lock,LOCK_EX)) {
> include('modules/rally_live/create_cache.php');
> flock($lock,LOCK_UN);
> }
> fclose($lock);
What happens if I don't get the lock?... You just skip all this code...
I think you need some kind of while() loop to just keep trying until you
*DO* get a lock...
Otherwise, you will sometimes blow right by here, read the file that the
other script got a lock for, but hasn't created yet, and BAM!, there's your
"sometimes empty" files that have the code in them when you go looking,
because you have a race condition.

> clearstatcache();
Hmmmm. Might be okay for this to be only here, but I'd copy it above as
well. *EVERYWHERE* you might need *current* file info.

I think it's just your locking mechanism isn't safe, as described above.
You can probably get rid of the for loop now.
