By default, files are not opened for shared access on OpenVMS. I don't
know whether PHP provides any optional extensions to change the
default, but you can probably skip the PHP layer and define the
following feature logical for the C run-time:

$ define DECC$FILE_SHARING ENABLE

Make sure that's in a logical name table that will be seen by your
script. This assumes that PHP's open() uses the CRTL's open(), a
likely, but not certain, supposition. The CRTL documentation for this
logical name is located here:
