Try to insert in your 'locked' field an Unix date .... instead of 'locked' .
One field, two effects !!!!

Subject: [PHP] locking a mysQL row
> Hi all,
>
> I'm currrently developing a dynamic, user-added content site.
> The thing is, content can be added and edited my TWO people..
> the original writer, and the editor.
>
> So, my problem is, if the editor/user makes an edit to content
> whilst the other is also attempting to do so, one of them will
> get overwritten.
>
>
> This isn't the end of the world, but it's a bit of a problem
> i'd like to clear up.

> So, my initial thought was to add a new column to the code
> "locked" with a time that the code can be re edited.
>
> 1. when the user requests to edit the content, the
> program first makes sure any "locked" time has
> expired.
>
> 2. he/she is given a time limit (say 10 minutes) to
> edit and re-submit, during which time the annother
> user cannot edit or change the content.
>
> 3. when the user submits the edited content, the
> locked timestamp is deleted, so that the content
> can be re-edited earlier than the 10 minutes.
>
> 4. if the user submits after the 10 minutes, they
> are rejected, since the content may have been
> edited by annother user.
>
>
> Does this seem like a good move? Can any one offer any firther
> tips or a smarter way to do this?
