Patrick O'Lone suggests the following idea which sounds interesting to

add as an optional mode of Cache_Lite class.

(still not tested in the Cache_Lite context)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you use the flags:

ignore_user_abort(true);

$fd = dio_open($szFilename, O_CREATE | O_EXCL | O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY,

0644);

if (is_resource($fd)) {

   dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLKW, array('type' => F_WRLCK));

   dio_write($fd, $szBuffer);

   dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLK, array('type' => F_UNLCK));

   dio_close($fd);

}

ignore_user_abort(false);

Only the first process will attempt to create a file. Additional

processes will see that a file already exists (at the system level), and

will fail. Another thing to note is that the file descriptor must be

opened using dio_open(), and certain features, like fgets() won't work

with it. If your just doing a raw write, dio_write() should be just

fine. The dio_read() function should be used like:

$fd = dio_open($szFilename, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK, 0644);

if (is_resource($fd)) {

   dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLKW, array('type' => F_RDLCK));

   $szBuffer = dio_read($fd, filesize($szFilename));

   dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLK, array('type' => F_UNLCK));

   dio_close($fd);

}

You still use locking to ensure that a write process can finish before

another attempts to read the file. We also set non-blocking mode in read

mode so that multiple readers can access the same resource at the same

time. NOTE: Direct I/O support must be compiled into PHP for these

features to work (--enable-dio).
