No your miss understanding me I wasnt going to use the file lock function to lock all files instead i was only going to set its so each script has the above defined in my first post and then $flock(); with LOCK_UN so there all read only and have it so that if a script is trying to write to another file it would first be checked to see if it had the defined at the top and a commented out code like //000111001000 and if it did it would then allow the script to write by switching it to the LOCK_UN to LOCK_EX and then it would close the file once the script was done excetuting. That way only your scripts would be allowed to have write access. But i`ll instead use your idea saves me the trials of coding the system and testing and debugging.
