PHP Database Problem

[ColoneLea]

I have this database problem and it's killing me. Basically I am running my script locally and whenever I try to create a database I get this problem.

 

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function dba_open() in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\test.php on line 10"

 

The PHP code is as follows:

 

<?php

print "<h3>Adding Values to a Database</h3>" . "<p>Adding products now....</p>";

$dbh = dba_open("./data/products", "c", "gdbm") or die ("Could not open the database in question");

 

dba_insert ("Sonic Screwdriver", 23.20, $dbh);

dba_insert ("Tricorder", 55.55, $dbh);

dba_insert ("ORAC AI", 2200.50, $dbh);

dba_insert ("HAL 2000", 4500.00, $dbh);

 

dba_close($dbh);

?>

 

I have basically wrote this from a book, so supposidly this is suppose to be correct, does anybody have any information. Somebody has to be out there who can help!!

Well, ive never worked with this type of database, however the obvious question to ask is if you have the php_dba extension loaded? Check your php.ini file for this line:

 

;extension=php_dba.dll

 

You'll need to remove the semi colon.

I previously did, but I got this instead as the error message:

 

"Warning: dba_open(./data/products,c) [function.dba-open]: No such handler: gdbm in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\test.php on line 10

Could not open the database in question"

 

As you can see the problem is still there.

Does anybody have any advise?

dba_open ( string $path, string $mode [, string $handler [, mixed $...]] )

Sorry, this did not help my problem. I am too new on the subject to understand what you typed. Sorry.
