Looking for betatesters for memberpages 3.0

[Holger]

Hey folks,

OT, but anyway...

Jerry could also dump his statistics!

I've used that skript too and found a "Auto-Dump-Feature" :
it seems it has some problems locking the textfile with the stats (at least on my installation).
The statistics got damaged there twice and therefore now downloads had been possible anymore .

Hi Holger,

indeed OT, but a very interesting point for all flat file based storage.

it seems it has some problems locking the textfile with the stats (at least on my installation).

I've noticed that an flock() was included with version 1.2. But if I'm not mistaken this is useless, as it's only called when the file is written (mode 'w'), but flock() doesn't work in this mode:

Because flock() requires a file pointer, you may have to use a special lock file to protect access to a file that you intend to truncate by opening it in write mode (with a "w" or "w+" argument to fopen()).

And yes, flock() might totally fail on IIS...
