By using the <option role="configure">--enable-dba=shared</option>
configuration option you can build a dynamic loadable modul to enable PHP
for basic support of dbm-style databases. You also have to add support
for at least one of the following handlers by specifying the
<literal>--with-XXXX</literal> configure switch to your PHP configure
line.

<para>
This was added in PHP 5.0.0. In earlier version you need to use
<option role="configure">--with-db3=DIR</option> with DIR being the
path to db4 librarie. It is not possible to use db versions starting
from 4.1 with PHP prior to version 4.3.0.

To enable support for cdb add
<option role="configure">--with-cdb[=DIR]</option>.
<note>
<para>
Since PHP 4.3.0 you can omit DIR to use the bundeled cdb library
that adds the cdb_make handler which allows creation of cdb files
and allows to access cdb files on the network using php's streams.

<para>
This was added in PHP 4.3.0 to add compatibility with deprecated
<link linkend="ref.dbm">dbm</link> extension. Uee this handler only
when you cannot install one of the libraries required by the other
handlers and when you cannot use bundeled cdb handler.

<note>
<para>
Up to PHP 4.3.0 you are able to add both db2 and db3 handler but only one
of them can be used internally. That means that you cannot have both file
formats. Starting with PHP 5.0.0 there is a configuration check avoid such
missconfigurations.
