Description:
------------
<?php
@session_write_close(); // be on the safe side
$f = fopen('/tmp/f.lck', 'a+');
var_dump(flock($f, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB, $w));
var_dump($w);
sleep(5);
?>

When I run this script concurrently, all results are same: "bool(true) int(0)". Seems LOCK_NB simply ignored.

P.S.
There is a lot of same bugs (e.g., http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31363 etc.), but they are closed or outdated.

Not reproducible on Linux.
 [2006-10-13 06:47 UTC] php at koterov dot ru 
Ah, on Linux bug is reproducible at version 5.1.1. Sorry, I do not have more recent test machine. On Windows - I've tested 5.1.6, bug is reproducible.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

For Windows:

PHP 5.2.0RC6-dev (cli) (built: Oct 13 2006 12:22:44)

Bug is reproducible.

What kind of Server API do you use and is your web-server threaded or not?
Where can I see the results? (as I'm unable to reproduce it locally)
 [2006-10-13 14:12 UTC] php at koterov dot ru 
Thanks for detailed testing.

Server version: Apache/2.0.54
Server built:   Apr 16 2005 14:25:31
Windows XP, NTFS.

I don't know if my server threaded or not; where could I see that?

With command-line php.exe effect is NOT quite reproducible: first process prints "bool(true) int(0)", second - "bool(false) int(0)". (Note that in both cases we have 0 in $w; is it proper or not?)

One time I've got in additional a message: "Failed to start up concurrent users module!" with php.exe, but cannot reproduce this message again now.

Wait, so did you try the snapshot on Linux?
Or are you talking only of Windows now?
 [2006-10-13 19:06 UTC] php at koterov dot ru 
I cannot try snapshot on Linux - I have no machine for experiments. And you said that Linux has no problem in new version.

Now we are talking about Windows only.

Hi,

problem might be just due to unclear documentation on how to apply LOCK_NB. The current flock docu says one should "add LOCK_NB to $operation" (i.e. to the second parameter of the function).

A comment on the docu page wants to assure us that neither of the following will work (administrator at proxy-list dot org, 30-Apr-2007 08:30)

<?php
flock($fp, LOCK_EX and LOCK_SH); 
flock($fp, LOCK_EX or LOCK_SH);  
flock($fp, LOCK_EX + LOCK_SH);
?>

(Rather separate flock calls should be used.)

So question to the PHP devs: what is the right way to do it?

Cheers

Guys!
Are you going to fix this bug. It is more than 3 years old! It is reproducable on NTFS.
