( > http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dba.php ) Please note that there are often problems distributing those database-files on different platforms (I've always had problems using (g)dbm files created on linux in a FreeBSD environment). Further this is dependant on how the mirrors php was compiled and which version it is (there still are some mirrors using 4.0.6). -Alex
