| Hi,
If I open a file with mode 'a' (ie fopen('file','a')), must I use flock to prevent concurrency access ?
I'm on a single server with no network file system.
Thanks.

if it's just you, it isnt necessary...unless of course your are
performing multiple tasks with the same file at the same time
if it's a file with shared access, then you should always lock it
