Note: flock() uses mandatory locking instead of advisory locking on Windows. Mandatory locking is also supported on Linux and System V based operating systems via the usual mechanism supported by the fcntl() system call: that is, if the file in question has the setgid permission bit set and the group execution bit cleared. On Linux, the file system will also need to be mounted with the mand option for this to work.
Note: 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()).
In the specialty finance world, if clients can use Flock leverage at typically, let's say it's 85 to 90% they can double, triple the return on their investment as opposed to doing it all themselves. The way it works is that typically after in our joint venture structure, after the client gets their collection fees and their principal and interest returned, we split residuals at 50-50 so think about it. If the client's putting in 15% flock puts in 85% the principal and the preferred returns are paid back and we split 50 50 the client makes a much better IRR or internal rate of return than flock because they're getting 50% of the residuals on a 15% equity Flock gets 50% residuals after putting in 85% of the equity. So the leverage is serious and very successful for the client.
The following code is placed into two different PHP scripts one "test1.php" and the other "test2.php". The point of the code is to create a file which no other process (which properly uses the flock() code) should be able to write to. There will be many different PHP scripts which try to obtain an exclusive lock on this file, but only one should have access at any given time and all the rest should fail gracefully when they fail to get the lock.
The only reason I can think of for this, is that flock() treats all PHP processes with the same file name as the same process. If this is the case, then when "test1.php" or "test2.php" are run twice (from two different browser tabs) PHP sees them as the same process and thus does not fail the lock. But to me, it does not makes sense for PHP to be designed like that, thus I am hear to see if anyone else can solve this problem for me.
Established in 2021, the Mansion grounds are home to the "First Flock." The flock is made up of 10 laying hens of multiple breeds that were chosen for their hardiness and egg color. This diverse group includes Black Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Easter Eggers. The fresh eggs laid by the flock are used in the Mansion kitchen. The First Flock provides an opportunity for Mansion visitors to learn about poultry, an industry which generates millions of dollars in economic impact each year in Georgia.
My most favorite part of Christmas is picking out and decorating our Christmas tree! After we spent a Christmas in Colorado, I fell in love with real, snow covered trees! They are so stunning and just happened to fit in with my white home decor. Ever since I learned about flocking trees, we have always had one! The best part is, you can easily have one, too! Flocking works on artificial or live trees and you just need a few things to get this look!
STEP 3: Spray a section of your tree with water so its damp. Then sift flock or tap the strainer with flock in it over the damp areas. Add more flock at this time if you want a heavier look.
After I flock my tree and let it dry, I use the spray snow and spray some areas to thicken it up and create the look of a heavy layer of snow. I have used about 5 cans of snow spray on my current tree and love the look! You can also flock wreaths, garlands, or any other branches!
For those that want that beautiful, snow covered tree without the hassle, you can buy amazing artificial trees that come flocked! The good news is, you can always add more flock to them or spray them with the snow spray. Here are my top finds!
