Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip *First of all db is deprecated. *dblist() just returns a simple string that describes the external library being used. Add in the docs already. => Allways use dba !!! *i will try to gather some information together with Wez since he knows more about the library functions bein used. Gernerally flatfile support for dba is better than flatfile support in db. *there will be an emulation from dba to db in php > 4.3 when we will remove db. *since php 4.3 dba does locking as documented (needs to be updated on php.net). Earlier version only do locking for gdbm. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-06 05:45:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/bin/php gets built automatically starting with 4.2.0 or 4.3.0. dblist() exists in the source, so I guess it works :) The following two suggestions remain: * the DBM function section should elaborate a bit on the internal flatfile database: does it use hashing? is the key or data size restricted? * the relationship between the DBM and DBA functions should be made clearer. When should one use which? Do the DBA functions do automatical locking like the DBM functions? The two should be cross linked at the very least. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-24 07:37:22] [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Fixed the libSWF-issue in CVS * Fixed the string-issue in CVS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-25 20:59:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The PHP manual is of exceptional high quality and the following are mere suggestions, not real bugs: * the SWF function section should have a link to the Ming function section * the string function section should have a link to the regexp function section * It should be explained somewhere how one can produce a /usr/local/bin/php parser for use as an external cgi handler or as standalone script engine. If it is automatically generated by make, then it didn't turn up in my /usr/local/bin. * the DBM function section should elaborate a bit on the internal flatfile database: does it use hashing? is the key or data size restricted? * the dblist() function doesn't exist for me. I compiled with --with-gdbm. Typo? * the relationship between the DBM and DBA functions should be made clearer. When should one use which? Do the DBA functions do automatical locking like the DBM functions? The two should be cross linked at the very least. Thanks for a excellent product, Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14219&edit=1 -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
