Little typo: with "LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB" OR "LOCK_SH + LOCK_NB" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-21 18:23:02] commander at graphicore dot de Description: ------------ Different behaviors of flock between WinXp and Linux(and FreeBSD) if you use the optional third Argument ($wouldblock) with "LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB" OR "LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB" If this is no bug please correct the documentation. Versions of PHP tested Win: PHP 4.4.4 PHP 4.4.7 PHP 5.1.6 PHP 5.2.2 (all Windows versions do the same) Linux PHP 4.4.4 FreeBSD PHP 4.4.6 (both Linux and FreeBSD do the same) Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* Here's my Code, run it from two different browsers or from two different files because if you request the same file twice at the same time modern browsers wait for the first request to finish until sending the seccond.(IE7 does not wait therefore its not modern): */ $starttime = time(); $date = date('h:i:s',$starttime); echo 'start:'.$date.'<br />'; $handle = fopen('test.txt','ab'); if($handle){ $wouldblock = NULL; $flock = flock($handle,LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB,$wouldblock); echo '$flock '; var_dump($flock);echo '<br />'; echo '$woulblock '; var_dump($wouldblock);echo '<br />'; if(!$flock){ echo 'no lock for me<br />'; }else{ echo 'got a lock<br />'; fwrite( $handle, ' start '.$date.' ' ); sleep(5); //assume the whole writing process takes 5 seconds fwrite( $handle, ' end '.$date."\n" ); } fclose($handle); } echo 'end: this took '.(time()-$starttime).' secconds'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Linux will if the file is locked set $wouldblock to int(1) and always return TRUE. Output Linux (and FreeBSD): ###first process: start:06:05:09 $flock bool(true) $woulblock int(0) got a lock end: this took 5 secconds ###seccond Process: start:06:05:11 $flock bool(true) $woulblock int(1) got a lock end: this took 5 secconds ###test.txt start 06:05:09 start 06:05:11 end 06:05:09 end 06:05:11 Actual result: -------------- Windows will set $wouldblock always to int(0) and if the file is locked return FALSE. Output WinXp: ###first process: start:06:09:22 $flock bool(true) $woulblock int(0) got a lock end: this took 5 secconds ###seccond Process: start:06:09:24 $flock bool(false) $woulblock int(0) no lock for me end: this took 0 secconds ###test.txt start 06:09:22 end 06:09:22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41769&edit=1
