Be advised that almost every function in this section either has no documentation or incorrectly documented regarding return codes. If you want to use the DB methods safely you will have to reverse engineer the return codes and hope that they do not change values returned by the functions in the future to match the incorrect documentation. In my experience, the return code of 0 or FALSE indicates no error. This matches the behavior of GDBM which I am using as my underlying DB manager. This may not be true for people using another manager, or the builtin flatfile code. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dbm.php
