Lack of IPC_EXCL makes me unhappy. Of course, you can use ftok() to generate a unique key. This code is not allmighty, another process under the same user can open the queue and function returns true. But in some situation it could help.
code:
<?
function ipcEXCL($res,$perm)
{
$pole = msg_stat_queue($res);
if($pole['msg_perm.uid']==posix_getuid() &&
$pole['msg_perm.gid']==posix_getgid() &&
$pole['msg_perm.mode']==$perm &&
$pole['msg_stime']==0 &&
$pole['msg_rtime']==0 &&
$pole['msg_qnum']==0 &&
$pole['msg_lspid']==0 &&
$pole['msg_rspid']==0)
return true;
else
return false;
}
$res=msg_get_queue($key,$perm);
if(ipcEXCL($res,$perm))
echo "probably I am a creator:";
else
echo "probably not";
?>
