Most of the dbm functions can use the full-path of the dbm file as the argument instead of the db
identifier generated by dbmopen() in a similar way it used to be on php2. The big exception is
dbmclose() that MUST use the db identifier, otherwise the dbm file keeps open. Be aware of that if
you're updating your php2 files.
i.e. this code works in the most lines, except to close the dbm file:
$fn="/full/path/of/dbmfile";
dbmopen($fn,"r");
$row=dbmfetch($fn,"MyKey");
dbmclose($fn);
Instead, allways prefer to use:
$fn="/full/path/of/dbmfile";
$db=dbmopen($fn,"r");
$row=dbmfetch($db,"MyKey");
dbmclose($db);
