Lock mysql table with php

Question

Script 1.

$query_ = \"lock tables test1 as test11 write\";
mysql_query($query);
$query_ = \"select * from test11\";
sleep(20);
$query_ = \"unlock tables\";
m         


        

Answer 1

If you do not want others to access that table then use

LOCK TABLES test1 WRITE;

Other script will not return error but will wait until lock is released.

Hope it helps...
