dba_open — Open database
$path,$mode,$handler = null,$permission = 0644,$map_size = 0,$flags = null
dba_open() establishes a database instance for
path with mode using
handler.
pathCommonly a regular path in your filesystem.
mode
It is r for read access, w for
read/write access to an already existing database, c
for read/write access and database creation if it doesn't currently exist,
and n for create, truncate and read/write access.
The database is created in BTree mode, other modes (like Hash or Queue)
are not supported.
Additionally you can set the database lock method with the next char.
Use l to lock the database with a .lck
file or d to lock the databasefile itself. It is
important that all of your applications do this consistently.
If you want to test the access and do not want to wait for the lock
you can add t as third character. When you are
absolutely sure that you do not require database locking you can do
so by using - instead of l or
d. When none of d,
l or - is used, dba will lock
on the database file as it would with d.
Bilginize:
There can only be one writer for one database file. When you use dba on a web server and more than one request requires write operations they can only be done one after another. Also read during write is not allowed. The dba extension uses locks to prevent this. See the following table:
DBA locking already open mode= "rl"mode= "rlt"mode= "wl"mode= "wlt"mode= "rd"mode= "rdt"mode= "wd"mode= "wdt"not open ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok mode= "rl"ok ok wait false illegal illegal illegal illegal mode= "wl"wait false wait false illegal illegal illegal illegal mode= "rd"illegal illegal illegal illegal ok ok wait false mode= "wd"illegal illegal illegal illegal wait false wait false
- ok: the second call will be successful.
- wait: the second call waits until dba_close() is called for the first.
- false: the second call returns false.
- illegal: you must not mix
"l"and"d"modifiers formodeparameter.
handler
The name of the handler which
shall be used for accessing path. It is passed
all optional parameters given to dba_open() and
can act on behalf of them. If handler is null,
then the default handler is invoked.
permission
Optional int parameter which is passed to the driver. It has the same meaning as
the permissions parameter of chmod(),
and defaults to 0644.
The db1, db2, db3,
db4, dbm, gdbm,
ndbm, and lmdb drivers support the
permission parameter.
map_sizeOptional int parameter which is passed to the driver. Its value should be a multiple of the page size of the OS, or zero, to use the default map size.
Only the lmdb driver accepts the map_size parameter.
flags
Flags to pass to the database drivers. If null the default flags will be provided.
Currently, only the LMDB driver supports the following flags
DBA_LMDB_USE_SUB_DIR and
DBA_LMDB_NO_SUB_DIR.
Returns a Dba\Connection instance on success başarısızlık durumunda false döner.
false is returned and an E_WARNING level error is issued when
handler is null, but there is no default handler.
| Sürüm: | Açıklama |
|---|---|
| 8.4.0 | Returns a Dba\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was returned. |
| 8.2.0 |
flags is added.
|
| 8.2.0 |
handler is now nullable.
|
| 7.3.14, 7.4.2 |
The lmdb driver now supports an additional map_size
parameter.

As of GDBM version 1.8.3, GDBM's underlying open call uses non-blocking calls to flock() on systems that have flock(). As a result, calls with "rd" or "wd" locking modes will return error ("Can't be reader" or "Can't be writer") instead of waiting. Use "rl" or "wl" instead, to make PHP do its own locking external to GDBM.Windows does not support locking the database. You may use $_ENV to determine the OS:
$locking = (stripos($_ENV['OS'],'windows') === false ? 'd' : 'l');If you get some strange errors like
dba_open(): myDbFilename.db : Permission denied
than you are propably using PHP on a Windoze machine. You have to make sure that the following conditions are met:
1) Use an absolute path to your db file. Relative paths will cause problems with locking
2) Specify a locking mode - that's the second character of the mode-argument, or else opening a dba-file will cause several notices/warnings etc.
And a final, general note:
3) Always use the english PHP doc on this site - the translations are often old as hell and miss important informations
HTH, Nils.Here's a simple example to use the dba_open function
<?php
$id = dba_open("/tmp/test.db", "n", "gdbm");
if (!$id) {
echo "dba_open failed\n";
exit;
}
dba_replace("key", "This is an example!", $id);
if (dba_exists("key", $id)) {
echo dba_fetch("key", $id);
dba_delete("key", $id);
}
dba_close($id);
?>Apache doesn't support Berkeley DB Btree, so you can't manipulate use db4 as the type of database if you want to do DBM authentication with Apache.
gdbm seemed to work fine though, even though it supposedly using Btree instead of hash. It makes you wonder why Apache would use hash for one dbmtype versus btree for another.
So since Apache and PHP don't have options to choose the method for the Berkeley DBs, you are out of luck.Note the “c” create flag does not work if MySQL was built with the “cdb” DBA handler compile option which is common for many distros. By definition the cdb DBA handler is optimized for reading/writing and “no updates are allowed.”
<?php
$dbh = dba_open( "./data2/productz", "c", "cdb") or die( "Couldn't open Database" );
?>
instead use
<?php
$dbh = dba_open( "./data2/productz", "n", "cdb" ) or die( "Couldnt open Database" );
?>
generates this error message in the /var/log/apache2/error.log:
[Sun Sep 06 04:18:15 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.125] PHP Warning: dba_open(./data2/productz,c) [<a href='function.dba-open'>function.dba-open</a>]: Driver initialization failed for handler: cdb: Update operations are not supported in /var/www/projects/testcdb-c.php on line 43
