Create a New DBM Database

[thinglie]

Is this the right code?

dbmopen( "./data/", "c" ) or die( "Couldn't Create DBM" )

BUMP!

I'm currently having trouble with a tutorial script that looks like this:

<?php

$dbh=dbmopen("./data/products","c") or die("Couldn't open DBM");

dbminsert($dbh,"Sonic Screwdriver","23.20");
dbminsert($dbh,"Tricorder","55.50");
dbminsert($dbh,"ORAC AI","2200.50");
dbminsert($dbh,"HAL 2000","4500.50");

dbmclose($dbh);

?>

and returns this in the browser:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dbmopen() in /var/html/domains/xinxang.com/public_html/phptest/database001.php on line 19

the answer to this question is, php doesn't ship with the dbm functionality installed, you have to install it separately. if you have a hosted site and your admin doesn't want to install it, you're SOL, so just move onto MySQL instead, because who's really using DBMs anyway???
