posix_getpid() does not exist in PHP 5.3.1 Win32

[DigitalDJ]

Just updated to the latest SVN, couldn't update my feed list.

posix_getpid() does not seem to exist as a function on PHP 5.3.1 running on Windows.

To fix, comment out line 2239 in functions.php: fwrite($fp, posix_getpid() . "\n");

or wrap the fwrite line in: if (function_exists('posix_getpid')) { }

Just a note, given that win32 is not a supported platform, this is not going to be changed in trunk.

Seriously?!

That's rather disappointing given the fact that it works perfect on an Apache, PHP, MySQL setup.

Even in functions.php you have other "if (function_exists('posix_getpid'))" wrappers around posix function calls. Why not this one? That's a bit inconsistent. Not adding this one line of code completely breaks the feed update process on Windows platforms.

Hmmm... I forgot about the function_exists() thing. Well given that it's purely cosmetic (unless you need to kill the process which made the lock, that is), no harm in wrapping it there too, I suppose.

Thanks, that'll save me patching each time I check out...and I'm sure it'll help other on Win32 come the next release
