dba_fetch fetches the data specified by
key from the database specified with
handle.
Key is the key the data is specified by.
Skip is the number of key-value pairs to
ignore when using cdb databases. This value is ignored for all other
databases which do not support multiple keys with the same name.
Handle is a database handle returned by
dba_open.
dba_fetch returns the associated string or &false;, if
the key/data pair is found or not found, respectively.
The skip parameter is available since PHP 4.3 to support cdb's
capability of multiple keys having the same name.
When working with inifiles this function accepts arrays as keys
where index 0 is the group and index 1 is the value name. See:
dba_key_split.
See also dba_exists,
dba_delete, dba_insert,
dba_replace and dba_key_split.
