README

The standard PHP flock function is difficult to test against. This library provides a modern, object-oriented wrapper to flock.

Installation

Add the following to your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "benconstable/lock": "~1.0"
    }
}

Usage

<?php

$lock = new BenConstable\Lock\Lock('/path/to/file.txt');

try {
    $lock->acquire();

    // Lock successful...

    // Release lock. Optional, as resource will also be released automatically
    // when the lock object is destroyed

    $lock->release();
} catch (BenConstable\Lock\Exception\LockException $e) {
    // Lock failed...
}
