[PHP] Re: lock web page when editing From: Philip Hallstrom (philip <email protected>)
Date: 09/29/01

Lock it as soon we they check it out for editing. Unlock it when they
save it. Create a "take lock" feature that allows someone else to take
the lock... this will solve the problem of someone leaving it locked and
going to lunch since that second person can call them and see if they are
there, and if they aren't, they can steal the lock.

Then when the first person comes back to save their changes they will get
an error message saying they no longer have the lock...

that leave's the resolution of whether a page is locked or not up to
physical human interaction...
