Look up the GET_LOCK, RELEASE_LOCK and IS_FREE_LOCK functions.  I've had
mixed luck using them w/ php because the locking is per-thread, and I have a
suspicion that my trouble came out of some sort of connection-sharing issue.
But this might be whate you're looking for.

I forgot to add  that I need semaphores for INSERT and DELETE sql
statement for MySQL. Maybe this is not needed after all. The rows
that are concerned are using a column with an AUTO_INCREMENT
attribute.

I don't need rollback (i.e. transaction). In its book on MySQL, Paul
Dubois write: "MySQL automatically performs locking for single SQL
statements to keep clients from interfering with each other." (Paul
Dubois, MySQL, New Riders, 2000).
