I am developing an application where i am capturing images from a camera and streaming them online. To capture images i am using an opencv code. It stores(rewrites) the image on the same image file on server. This image is then streamed online. However if the streaming and storing take place simultaneously then the image gets corrupt. So i have synchronized those processes using system locks. The html page that checks that reloads the image every 2 secs checks if the img file has a system lock. If yes then it doesn't reload the image. So to check whether the file is locked or not i have to put some php code in my html file. I believe that my code is sytactically correct. Yet it is not giving the desired output.

Your problem is in the code timerID = setTimeout("startClock()", 1000);
.
Use
timerID = setTimeout(startClock, 1000);
instead.
