Description:
------------
in the sem_get function, according to the source code,
semaphore *always* getting with IPC_CREATE flag. That is unnecessary in situations, when I wanna get an existing semaphore, not to create a new one.

Also in the Documentation You should mention, that a PHP semaphore is really THREE of them! Because when writing an client-server app (php as a client platform ang C/C++ as a server platform), and a semaphore is created in C++ as semget(key, 1(!), IPC_CREATE | 0666) - I need onle one! When trying to reach it in php sem_get(key) php handles an "ivalid argument exception" because php wanna re-create the semaphore set from 1 to 3.

It seems strange that IPC_CREATE flag is always set, but it's removal will break backwards compatibility. The only way I see that this problem could be resolved is by adding another optional argument to the function, which would disable  IPC_CREATE flag.

Please tell us what exactly should be added to the documentation.

I confirm the problem of sem_get, with an existing semaphare, created by an other 
application (c code). If the semaphore does not exist, there is no problem to 
receive the sem_id.

$sem_id = sem_get(0x4d2, 1, 0666, 1);
