It isn't real clear just what your question actually is.

I have WAMPSEVER 2.1 one installed and don't know how to set my php.ini file so that I can start following sams php in 24 hours section 12 on DBA and DBM databases.  Its stalling my study big time.  I was wondering if anyone could help with that or if I had to know dba or dbm if I have MySql? 

 

I got PHP 5.3.5

 

Details:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dba.php

 

I tried to use the function:

---------------------------------

var_dump( dba_handlers() );

---------------------------------

which is supposed to give me a quick listing of

available handlers. But when I run this, I get:

-----------------------------------

Fatal error: Call to undefined function dba_handlers()

in c:\wamp\www\dba_function.php on line 10

----------------------------------

 

Thanks in Advance for help, I need to continue studying
