I have just been bitten by this issue, and for all I can tell the reasoning
behind what goetas writes makes me think "yeah, right!".
Could someone *please* reevaluate the "not a bug" statements?

This is extracted from standard/file.c starting from line 618.
I have commented some fundamental parts for this bug.
...
} else if (flags & LOCK_EX) { // exclusive lock?
// the following lines does not check any real stream locking support
// this code will block all protocols
// that use LOCK_EX, except file://
// are we using a stream protocol? eg: file:// http:// custom://
if (php_memnstr(filename, "://", sizeof("://") - 1, filename + filename_len))
{
// if the protocol is not file:// throw an error
if (strncasecmp(filename, "file://", sizeof("file://") - 1)) {
php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING,
"Exclusive locks may only be set for regular files");
RETURN_FALSE;
}
}
mode[0] = 'c';
}
// the following lines can not be reached by any other
//protocol using LOCK_EX, except file://
mode[2] = '\0';
stream = php_stream_open_wrapper_ex(filename, mode, ((flags &
PHP_FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH) ? USE_PATH : 0) | ENFORCE_SAFE_MODE | REPORT_ERRORS,
NULL, context);
if (stream == NULL) {
RETURN_FALSE;
}
// better locking check
if (flags & LOCK_EX && (!php_stream_supports_lock(stream) ||
php_stream_lock(stream, LOCK_EX))) {
php_stream_close(stream);
php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Exclusive locks are not
supported for this stream");
RETURN_FALSE;
}
According to current implementation of file_put_contents there is no way to use
exclusive locks support with a custom protocol wrapper.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
The stream_support_locking() merely checks if stream->fd is present, it does
not
"actually" check if locking is supported. Therefor the check is actually
correct.

in file.c there is a double check for stream locking support, but the first
check is done in the worong way.
i'm not a c programmer, i think that should be done somethink like this
if(file_lock) then
if(is_stream && !stream_support_locking) then
throw error
endif
endif

The first check was introduced to fix the issue reported in bug #44501.
