#19077 [Opn->Fbk]: dba_open fails

ID: 19077 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: wboring@qualys.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: DBM/DBA related Operating System: Redhat 6.2 kernel 2.2.10 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: 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 I'm unable to reproduce this with PHP 4.3.0-dev. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-23 15:41:11] wboring@qualys.com I beg to differ. This is actually a bug. If you read the bug, it states that I cannot use dba_open(). it intermittently fails. This is a bug in php, that prevents me from opening a db file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-23 14:55:02] georg@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions.

I am having intermittent problems with php 4.2.2 and dba_open. on some pages I am getting php errors of [23-Aug-2002 11:09:37] PHP Warning: driver initialization failed in ../lib/db.inc on line 72 [23-Aug-2002 11:09:37] PHP Warning: Unable to find DBA identifier 0 in ../lib/db.inc on line 131 [23-Aug-2002 11:09:37] PHP Warning: Unable to find DBA identifier 0 in ../lib/db.inc on line 274 [23-Aug-2002 11:09:37] PHP Warning: Unable to find DBA identifier 0 in ../lib/db.inc on line 275 [23-Aug-2002 11:09:37] PHP Warning: Unable to find DBA identifier 0 in ../lib/db.inc on line 276 db.inc is a class that I wrote to handle all access thru to a dba_* style db. on access to a page works, the next fails w/ this driver initialization failed error. I have gdbm 1.8.0-3 installed. the dba_open call looks like class db { ... ... function connect() { $this->_rsc = dba_open($this->get_db_filename(), "c", "gdbm"); if (!$this->_rsc) { //we are in trouble here. var_dump( "FAILED TO CONNECT TO DB ". $this->get_db_filename() ); var_dump( $this->_rsc ); } } I NEVER see the var_dump lines as php bails during the dba_open() call. any ideas/help? An ideas/help? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19077&edit=1
