2.6 新版功能: The lock handler feature was introduced in Symfony 2.6
File locking is a mechanism that restricts access to a computer file by allowing only one user or process access at any specific time. This mechanism was introduced a few decades ago for mainframes, but continues being useful for modern applications.
Symfony provides a LockHelper to help you use locks in your project.
警告
The lock handler only works if you’re using just one server. If you have several hosts, you must not use this helper.
A lock can be used, for example, to allow only one instance of a command to run.
use SymfonyComponentFilesystemLockHandler;
$lockHandler = new LockHandler('hello.lock');
if (!$lockHandler->lock()) {
// the resource "hello" is already locked by another process
return 0;
}
The first argument of the constructor is a string that it will use as part of
the name of the file used to create the lock on the local filesystem. A best
practice for Symfony commands is to use the command name, such as acme:my-command.
LockHandler sanitizes the contents of the string before creating
the file, so you can pass any value for this argument.
小技巧
The .lock extension is optional, but it’s a common practice to include
it. This will make it easier to find lock files on the filesystem. Moreover,
to avoid name collisions, LockHandler also appends a hash to the name of
the lock file.
By default, the lock will be created in the temporary directory, but you can optionally select the directory where locks are created by passing it as the second argument of the constructor.
The lock() method tries to
acquire the lock. If the lock is acquired, the method returns true,
false otherwise. If the lock method is called several times on the same
instance it will always return true if the lock was acquired on the first
call.
You can pass an optional blocking argument as the first argument to the
lock() method, which defaults to false. If this is set to true, your
PHP code will wait indefinitely until the lock is released by another process.
警告
Be aware of the fact that the resource lock is automatically released as soon
as PHP applies the garbage-collection process to the LockHandler object.
This means that if you refactor the first example shown in this article as
follows:
use SymfonyComponentFilesystemLockHandler;
if (!(new LockHandler('hello.lock'))->lock()) {
// the resource "hello" is already locked by another process
return 0;
}
Now the code won’t work as expected because PHP’s garbage collection mechanism
removes the reference to the LockHandler object and thus, the lock is released
just after it’s been created.
Another alternative way to release the lock explicitly when needed is to use the
release() method.
