flock

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.7, PHP 4, PHP 5)

flock -- Portable advisory file locking

Description

bool flock ( resource handle, int operation [, int &wouldblock] )

PHP supports a portable way of locking complete files in an advisory way (which means all accessing programs have to use the same way of locking or it will not work).

Notatka: flock() is mandatory under Windows.

flock() operates on handle which must be an open file pointer. operation is one of the following values:

flock() allows you to perform a simple reader/writer model which can be used on virtually every platform (including most Unix derivatives and even Windows). The optional third argument is set to TRUE if the lock would block (EWOULDBLOCK errno condition). The lock is released also by fclose() (which is also called automatically when script finished).

Zwraca TRUE w przypadku sukcesu, FALSE w przypadku porażki.

Przykład 1. flock() example

<?php

$fp
= fopen("/tmp/lock.txt", "w+");

if (
flock($fp, LOCK_EX)) { // do an exclusive lock
    
fwrite($fp, "Write something here\n");
    
flock($fp, LOCK_UN); // release the lock
} else {
    echo
"Couldn't lock the file !";
}

fclose($fp);

?>

Notatka: Because flock() requires a file pointer, you may have to use a special lock file to protect access to a file that you intend to truncate by opening it in write mode (with a "w" or "w+" argument to fopen()).

Ostrzeżenie

flock() will not work on NFS and many other networked file systems. Check your operating system documentation for more details.

On some operating systems flock() is implemented at the process level. When using a multithreaded server API like ISAPI you may not be able to rely on flock() to protect files against other PHP scripts running in parallel threads of the same server instance!

flock() is not supported on antiquated filesystems like FAT and its derivates and will therefore always return FALSE under this environments (this is especially true for Windows 98 users).
