#23188 [Opn]: CDB databases created with "c" mode do not work.

ID: 23188 User updated by: rhondle at hotmail dot com Reported By: rhondle at hotmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: DBM/DBA related Operating System: FreeBSD, Windows PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: dba_open does not return null, implying success. In fact, it *technically* does succeed; it's just that the resulting file is corrupt in some way. <?php $id = dba_open ("test.db", "c", "cdb_make"); if (!$id) exit("dba_open failed\n"); dba_insert("test","12345",$id); dba_close ($id); ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-13 15:20:52] helly@php.net Check again: "c" should return NULL in case an error happend and you don not check for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-13 15:09:39] rhondle at hotmail dot com The docs indicate that either the 'c' or 'n' modes can be used to create a dba database. When creating a CDB database, the 'n' mode produces a functional database, while the 'c' mode does not. No errors are reported; the database just does not work. The database created using 'c' doesn't work: <?php $id = dba_open ("test.db", "c", "cdb_make"); dba_insert("test","12345",$id); dba_close ($id); ?> This will create a working database: <?php $id = dba_open ("test.db", "n", "cdb_make"); if (!$id) exit("dba_open failed\n"); dba_insert("test","12345",$id); dba_close ($id); ?> tested with: <?php $id = dba_open ("test.db", "r", "cdb"); if (!$id) exit("dba_open failed\n"); if (dba_exists("test", $id)) print dba_fetch("test", $id); else print "Key not found!!\n"; dba_close ($id); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23188&edit=1
