Re: how to lock a block of php codes

Exactly.

A little more information:
The php page is actually called by PayPal IPN.
It works just fine in most case.
But a few times PayPal will call this page twice at the same time.
And it causes bugs. Because the first time information hasn't been
insert into the database, the second call happens.
So I want to find a method to avoid this.

Thank you a lot,
