The documentation for "file_put_contents" contains this:
file_put_contents ( string filename, mixed data [, int flags [, resource
context]] )
and this:
flags can take FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH, FILE_APPEND and/or LOCK_EX

What isn't clear is how FILE_APPEND and LOCK_EX are used together.

This works:
file_put_contents($name,$data,FILE_APPEND);
but this doesn't:
file_put_contents($name,$data,FILE_APPEND LOCK_EX);
and this doesn't:
file_put_contents($name,$data,FILE_APPEND, LOCK_EX);

What am I doing wrong? I can find no examples that use both.

Thanks in advance.
