Using dl() to load gdbm (unix)

[Anon]

Hello,

I trying to write some DBM database code in PHP on a v-host that has PHP compiled without DBM support (gdbm, db3, etc). I have built the GDBM package, and put libgdm.so in the user's root www directory.

However, calling dl("libgdm.so") gives "Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'libgdbm.so'". What steps are needed to make a library that can be used with dl() that do not involve rebuilding PHP?

Thank you,
Nissim

Hi,
can you compile the .so and include it with dl() in a php4???
