It may not be a direct answer to your question, but...
You could just use flock() to lock the file while accessing it.

I'd like to know (from someone who knows the internals more than I do)
whether the following functions lock files and to what extent:
fopen($filename, 'w');
Does this function lock the file from writes until fclose()?
Does it lock from reads as well?
fopen($filename, 'r+');
Does this function l

Hi.
Got a bit of a question/issue that I'm trying to resolve. I'm asking this of
a few groups so bear with me.
I'm considering a situation where I have multiple processes running, and
each process is going to access a number of files in a dir. Each process
accesses a unique group of files, and th
lock fails. I think
that locks fail for a reason and you should find that reason before you
unlock and potentially break something.

Im talking about file locking during deleting, and moving
files.
Is it possible to perform file locking for these file operations?
If so, can you provide psuedo code.
Thanks

Does file_get_contents() or file_put_contents() utilise
any kind of file locking?

Yea, read that, very good info there. Alright, I'll make one from scratch

You can mysql locks (maybe it works in other databases too):

Not at all. My solution was not far from that -- I have to wait for the
file to exist, and then to have something in it, and then include it. (See

Ok, here's another possibly stupid solution. Have you tried (a) setting

Charles,
2 questions--
1) What OS are you using?
2) Does the file include PHP code? Otherwise, can you keep its contents
in a string and simply output that string? If it contains PHP code, are

Ok, so it was a bit more than 2 questions :-)
