Race conditions in file-based concurrency introduce significant challenges in web applications, mainly when PHP is used for server-side scripting. This paper try to discovers traditional ideas to mitigate race conditions, which includes file locking, temporary files, atomic operations, database systems, in-memory caching, message queues, and semaphores. Moreover, this paper recommends a unique custom solution that avoids PHP's built-in concurrency tools to handle race condition. The study examines the issue of race conditions in file-based systems, confirms the conventional ideas, and gives an unique custom solution that does not depend on PHP's in built locking mechanisms/functions or external libraries. Through a comparative analysis, the performance, reliability, and scalability of the custom solution are measured against traditional methods. The results tells us that the custom approach offers comparable reliability with enhanced flexibility, although at the cost of increased complexity and longer execution times. This research paper contributes to a in depth understanding of concurrency control in resource-constrained environments and provides a foundation for further optimization.
