file_put_contents, file lock AND append?

[AlbertAguirre]

I am using the file_put_contents with the append option.

Code:
file_put_contents("filename", "text to write", FILE_APPEND);

Problem is that I want to lock the file as well as append.

Php documentation says to use the "LOCK_EX" flag, however, it does not have examples. How do I pass BOTH the FILE_APPEND and LOCK_EX flags?

Like this?
file_put_contents("filename", "text to write", FILE_APPEND, LOCK_EX);

I dont think the above will work because there is a fourth parameter that can be passed to this function.

Thoughts?

Go to

The fourth parameter is a resource id, the third is your flags and you join them with the | operator.

What does your documentation say about the call?
