Configuration: ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache \ --with-apxs2=/opt/apache/bin/apxs \ --enable-safe-mode \ --with-openssl=/opt/openssl \ --with-ldap=/opt/openldap \ --with-imap=/opt/uw-imap \ --with-config-file-path=/opt/apache/conf \ --enable-dba \ --with-dbm \ --with-ndbm Script that explains the problem: $alias = "some string"; $id = dba_open($ALIASES_FILE, 'r', 'ndbm'); $key = dba_firstkey($id); # $key contains trailing \0 char print dba_fetch($alias, $id); # does not match print dba_fetch("$alias\0", $id); # works dba_close($id); Don't know whether it works with other dba handlers or other PHP version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23778&edit=1
