Status: Closed Package: Filesystem function related
PHP Version: 4.0.6 OS: Windows 98 SE
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Both flock($fp,1) and flock($fp,2) always return false.
It makes flock() a useless function.

Does Win32 implement flock()??
That might be why it doesn't do anything...

Yes, windoze does support file locking, but has an overlap based mechanism, rather than a byte region one (UNIX). Use the LockFile, LockFileEx and UnlockFile functions.
