How is it possible that the file locked with exclusive lock can be
opened by another call to fopen in the same script? Am i getting it all
wrong, or the second call to fopen in the next code should fail?
$fp=fopen("somefile", "w");
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
$fp1=fopen("somefile", "w");
I'm using php 4.1.2 windows version on apache 1.2.23.
