Description:
------------
When I try to write to a file, whether the file exists or not the text 
sent is written twice.  I tried using a counter to see if it was looping 
somewhere however it proved that the code was only run once.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$msg = 'TEST';
$fp = ('./logs/somefile.php');
file_put_contents($fp,$msg,FILE_APPEND);

or

$msg = 'TEST';
$fp = fopen('./logs/somefile.php','ab');
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);    
fwrite($fp, $msg);
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
fclose($fp);

Expected result:
----------------
TEST

Actual result:
--------------
TESTEST

Really?  That simple 3-line test write "TEST" twice to the file?  
Forget your other code, just run the simple test.  I certainly can't 
reproduce that here and I am very skeptical that you can reproduce it 
with that code as well.

I could not believe it either, I have pulling my hair out all day!  
Let me try and give a little more information.


This is my server, pretty basic.  
/
/dev
/dev/logs/
/public_html/
/public_html/logs/

I have a live version (/public_html/) and a dev server (/dev/).  On 
the live server the code works great, on the dev server it doesn't.

I sent the code to a friend to see if he could help and his server 
started doing the same thing!

I made a small mistake on the PHP version when I submitted, it's 5.2.6 
not .12 but I don't think that will make a HUGE difference with this 
bug, not that I have any control over it anyway because the host that 
is running my site won't update!

Any ideas?

None whatsoever.  We can't fix something we can't see.  And 5.2.6 is 
ancient.  If you can reliably reproduce it in a current version, let us 
know.
