The steps I've taken so far to solve this are as follows: 1. I got rid of WAMP in favor of installing php5.0.3 manually. All i need help with now is how to: (see below-taken from manual) By using the --enable-dba=shared configuration option you can build a dynamic loadable module to enable PHP for basic support of dbm-style databases. You also have to add support for at least one of the following handlers by specifying the --with-XXXX configure switch to your PHP configure line. Where do I use the --enable-dba=shared configuration option? Also, where do I specify the --with-XXXX configure switch? thanks --- Patrick Roane <fojomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I need to use DBM-style abstraction layer functions > see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dba.php > > > I am trying to find out if I compiled php (I > actually > installed WAMP 5: > ---------------------------------- > Apache version : Apache/1.3.33 (Win32) > PHP version : 5.0.3 > MySQL version : 4.1.8-nt-log - extension : mysqlite > ----------------------------------- > with support for any of the DBA handlers listed in > table found here: > > http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dba.php > > Does anyone know how I can find out?
