Don't use file_exists() for that, it will fail miserable with
racing conditions. a better more portable way would be to use
mkdir():
if (mkdir('mylockdir', 0755) ) {
// we've obtained a lock
// do stuff
// and unlock it
rmdir('mylockdir');
} else {
// unable to obtain lock
}

you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
