Digg  dbmopen
Opens a DBM database
(PHP 4)
Code Examples / Notes » dbmopensitz
Want to use dbmopen() to open an NDBM DB under solaris? Want to have GDBM support as well? Tough; you can't. You *can* use dba_open(), but you need to jump through a couple of hoops first: First, you need to re-roll libgdbm so that DBM/NDBM compatiblity are removed. For GDBM-1.7.3, change this line in the Makefile: OBJS = $(DBM_OF) $(NDBM_OF) $(GDBM_OF) to this: OBJS = $(GDBM_OF) Once that's installed, re-run ./configure --with-gdbm=/<prefix> --with-ndbm --with-db=/<prefix> <other args>, where <prefix> is the directory which holds the include/ directory containing the associated header files. make, make install, adjust your scripts to use dba_open() with the ndbm handler. Voila! mavetju
If you are running php >4.0.2 and you have suddenly problems with dbmopen (i.e. it complains that the function does not exist), recompile php with --with-ndb *and* --with-db

If using php3 on a win 95/98 machine, you must have the complete path to the db file. And always remember that if you user the " mark, add one extra slash before any regular slashes. Otherwise use the ' and normal slashes. $dmb = 'd:\httpd\storit\users'; $modify = dbmopen($dmb, "w"); $username = dbmfetch($modify, $email, $username); $password = dbmfetch($modify, $username, $password); echo "Current username: $username"; echo "Current password: $password"; exit; |
