FSLock

A simple lock implementation using flock.

NOTE: to use php-backoff with PHP 5.x please use the lastet release of branch 2.x

Usage

use FSLock\FSLock;

$lock = new FSLock('test');

if ($lock->acquire()) {
    // Critical code.

    $lock->release();
}

If you want to use a custom path to store the locks, you should instantiate the FSLock like that

$lock = new FSLock('test', '/tmp/');

acquire: Acquires the lock, returns true if the operation was successful otherwise the return is false.
release: Releases the lock, returns true if the operation was successful otherwise the return is false.
id: returns the lock id.
getPath: returns the lock path

The recommended way to install this package is through Composer.

composer require yriveiro/php-fslock:3.0.0

Tests are performed using the phpunit library, to run them:

php vendor/bin/phpunit tests
