|

It is <literal>r</literal> for read access, <literal>w</literal> for
|
|
read/write access to an already existing database, <literal>c</literal>
|
|
for read/write access and database creation if it doesn't currently exist,
|
|
and <literal>n</literal> for create, truncate and read/write access.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Additionally you can set the database lock method with the next char.
|
|
Use <literal>l</literal> to lock the database with a <filename>.lck</filename>
|
|
file or <literal>d</literal> to lock the databasefile itself. It is
|
|
important that all of your applications do this consistently.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you want to test the access and do not want to wait for the lock
|
|
you can add <literal>t</literal> as third character. When you are
|
|
absolutely sure that you do not require database locking you can do
|
|
so by using <literal>-</literal> instead of <literal>l</literal> or
|
|
<literal>d</literal>. When none of <literal>d</literal>,
|
|
<literal>l</literal> or <literal>-</literal> is used, dba will lock
|
|
on the database file as it would with <literal>d</literal>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
There can only be one writer for one database file. When you use dba on
|
|
a web server and more than one request requires write operations they can
|
|
only be done one after another. Also read during write is not allowed.
|
|
The dba extension uses locks to prevent this. See the following table:

It's possible to open database files over network connection. However
|
|
in cases a socket connection will be used (as with http or ftp) the
|
|
connection will be locked instead of the resource itself. This is important
|
|
to know since in such cases locking is simply ignored on the resource
|
|
and other solutions have to be found.

Locking and the <parameter>mode</parameter> modifiers "l", "d", "-"
|
|
and "t" were added.
|
|
In previous PHP versions, you must use semaphores to guard against
|
|
simultaneous database access for any database handler with the exception
|
|
of GDBM. See <link linkend="book.sem">System V semaphore support</link>.

open mode 'c' is broken for several internal handlers and truncates
|
|
the database instead of appending data to an existent database.
|
|
Also dbm and ndbm fail on mode 'c' in typical configurations (this
|
|
cannot be fixed).
