That produces a race condition. Between the checking for the existence of
the file, and the opening of the file itself, the file COULD be created.
I suggest the use of the sysopen() function.
Try
do {
$artikelID = &newID;
} until (! -e $ARTIKEL_DIR.$artikelID);
open ($artikelID);
That checks for the existence of the file (-e).
