Bug #13358: Berkeley DB3 and the DBA functions

From: mark@neaturl.com Operating system: PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Berkeley DB3 and the DBA functions I have noticed that a similar bug has been reported (Bug id #11732) - however I can report more details and I have another script with interesting results. First: the code that was provided in #11732 [code] <?php if(!$fp = dba_open("test.db", "c", "db3")) { print("error"); exit; } dba_insert("testkey", "testval", $fp); echo( dba_fetch("testkey", $fp)); dba_close($fp); ?> [/code] [output] Warning: driver initialization failed in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/www-root/neaturl.com/temp/test.php on line 3 error [/output] But get this - test.db is created! The above code was called through from my browser (thus through the Apache web server) Here is a link to a snapshot of my php config at the time I ran that code: http://neaturl.com/temp/phpinfo-0109181613.html Now - here is the twist! If I call the same script (adding the path to the php binary) from bash, it runs fine! [code] #!/usr/local/bin/php <?php if(!$fp = dba_open("test.db", "c", "db3")) { print("error"); exit; } dba_insert("testkey", "testval", $fp); echo( dba_fetch("testkey", $fp)); dba_close($fp); ?> [/code] [output] X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.6 Content-type: text/html testval [/output] Actually, I came accross this problem because I had written a php script to initialize the postfix/virtual.db (which I ran from bash and had written a php script to read and output the key:value pairs (which again I ran OK from bash). But when I tried to run the same script by calling it from my browser - no cigar! Now I am assuming this is a bug. I would be delighted to learn that perhaps I have missed configuring something in php.ini -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13358&edit=1
