Hy, I actually want to write a little forum-script for my homepage, but I have several problems:
1. I need to lock a file while the script is writing to it. I actually am doing this by creating a link to this file named "(filename).lock) When the script has finished writing data to it, it unlinks this file. When another script wants to access the data-file, it checks if the ..lock-file exists. If so it waits a secons and checks again. It work, but: There must be a better way to 'lock' files. (and a faster one - waiting one secons seems to be a bit long!) 2. I need to enable unicode-messages (I'm from germany, and not enabling all chars seems to be quite silly!) How to do that? Many many thanks in advance! regards Sebastian Nerz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
