Hi, I need to read the contents of a gdbm file which was created on a Solaris machine. I do not have access to a Solaris machine any more, so it must be done on my x86 machine. The gdbm file generated on Solaris is big-endian, and I know that gdbm files generated on x86 machines are little-endian, so I guess PHP's dbm functions are giving me errors because they expect little-endian files. Anyone know how to get round this? It doesn't even have to be a PHP solution, but that would be nice :) thanks, - Kev -- http://www.fa-premier.com - English Premier League Football
