Bug #13358 Updated: Berkeley DB3 and the DBA functions

ID: 13358 Updated by: swm Reported By: mark@neaturl.com Status: Open Bug Type: DBM/DBA related Operating System: RedHat 7.1 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Fixed in current CVS. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-21 13:32:42] mark@neaturl.com Just a couple of more points of information: 1) I have now tried compiling libphp4.so every which way. I have downloaded and installed from source db3.1.17, db3.2.9 and db3.3.11 - and have tried configuring --with-db3= (path to db3) with each of these different versions. No luck. 2) Again, I have no problem using the db3 driver and the dba functions with the stand alone binary of php that I configured --with-db3 Permissions are not a problem. 3) That link I gave to the phpinfo snapshot is gone. I am a dangerous sysadmin when logged in as root! But the dynamicly generated phpinfo() page is http://neaturl.com/phpinfo.php I've gone crazy over this. The only solutions I can see is to run the scripts that use dba functions on my db3 file as CGI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-18 02:33:18] mark@neaturl.com Um. yeah, I am using BerkeleyDB3.1.17 which came rpm installed as part of the standard install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-18 02:28:28] mark@neaturl.com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13358&edit=1
