Not only will dba_replace add extra entries when trying to replace an existing smaller one, it will always add a new entry if the size of the value differs from the existing entry. This is probably due to the nature of the datum struct in DBM-type databases (I work with gdbm), which consist of a void pointer and a integer containing the size of the memory pointed to. Padding the value should solve this. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dba-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25516 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25516 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25516
