fwrite traffic

[asmith]

hey guys

 

$fp = fopen($file_name,"a")
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);

 

this is some part of the coding , which i guess can be so crowded sometimes, sooo many users will run this script . i'm just wondering too much trafic may cause problem in this part , may users will request to write in that file at the same time ....

any solution ?

how fast is it ?  if 100 people happen to write at the same time how it handles them ?

Use a database. It will handle concurrent updates.
