DBM Functions [deprecated]DBM
&reftitle.intro;
These functions allow you to store records stored in a dbm-style
database. This type of database (supported by the Berkeley DB,
GDBM, and some system libraries,
as well as a built-in flatfile library) stores key/value pairs
(as opposed to the full-blown records supported by relational
databases).
DBM support is deprecated and you are encouraged to use the
PHP Data Objects extension instead.
This extension has been removed from PHP and is no longer available as
of PHP 5.0.0.
&reftitle.required;
To use this functions you have to compile PHP with support for an
underlying database. See the
list of supported Databases.
