flock() and fclose() probs

[favian]

Hi. I'm using the function flock() and fclose() to prevent data corruption when users try to access my text file concurrently.

However when I run my php script, I get the following response:

Warning: flock(): 3 is not a valid stream resource in <location>

Warning: fclose(): 3 is not a valid stream resource in <location>

Can anyone tell me what's causing this and how to remedy it? Thanks.

Well....It depends in how you are using those functions....

Flock() --> bool flock (int fp, int operation)

operation --> 1 READ BLOCK
--> 2 WRITE BLOCK
--> 3 FREE BLOCK

fp it's the name of the text file.

In order to use fclose() you need to use fopen() first.......

int fopen (string filename, string mode [, int use_include_path])
