You can pretty much count on PHP *not* automatically doing this for
you. For one thing, there are safe ways of two processes both
having the same file open for write and *not* clobbering each other
(e.g. each writes only to its own pre-existing record) that PHP
shouldn't prohibit it.

All users of the file can use flock().
