Now when I run the "dba_handlers.php " script mentioned above, I get Available DBA handlers: - cdb: 0.75, Revision: 1.10.2.1.2.5 - cdb_make: 0.75, Revision: 1.9.2.1.2.3 - db3: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.3.11: (July 12, 2001) - inifile: 1.0, Revision: 1.14.2.1.2.6 - flatfile: 1.0, Revision: 1.14.2.1.2.3 So, how do I get qdbm?
