It's the blocking feature i'm after. When the image is updating, 
other fopen's needs to get blocked. It makes my code much more 
simpler.

Also, you can do this with ImageMagick, since it allows you to 
supply the file handle yourself http://php.net/imagick_writeimagefile

The only reason why i'm requesting this feature to GD, is because of 
GD's speed.

rasmus: The renaming-method is nice. But in my case, i need the 
users to be blocked until the image is ready. Not just show the old 
one, or return a 404. I can program my way out of it, but it's 
messy.

I guess i'm saying that it would be nice with a 
http://php.net/imagick_writeimagefile for GD.

Thank you for the response.

Same here, I don't see how we could do that for every simple file
related functions. Please follow Rasmus' advice here, best possible
solution.

I'm curious why you want this.  Locking is almost never the right 
solution for a web app.  Writing to a temp file and then atomically 
rename it into its final destination.  Adding locks to every library 
function PHP can call that can potentially write files is not feasible.

Apparently there is not way to lock files while writing to them.

I'd like to see a similar behavior like the flags in 
http://php.net/file_put_contents

Maybe the file actually get's locked. I can't test it.
