Operating System: FreeBSD 4.8
PHP Version: 4.3.4RC1

New Comment:
We can confirm this bug. We are having the same problem
using db3 files created with Apache dbmmanage. Apache
can not read db3 files created by PHP and PHP can not
read the files created by dbmmanage. Using db3_dump
reveals that the dbmmanage files are of type 'hash' and
that the PHP files are of type 'btree'. We had a
similar issue with version 4.1.2 (which we are trying to
upgrade from) where dbmmanage/Apache could not read the
files created by PHP, but PHP can read the files created
by dbmmanage.
Our error:
PHP Warning: dba_open(/var/www/db/razdb/razpassdb,w):
Driver initialization failed for handler: db3: Invalid
argument in /var/www/html/old_raz/razphp/admin/
ADMIN_userrset.php on line 130
Unworking configuration is Apache 2, PHP 4.3.4 on x86
RedHat 7.3 and 7.1

Description:
------------
Basically I cannot get php to open an existing (not created by php) db3
hash file when using either "w" or "c". It seems that php is looking
for a btree format. My database is a hash file.
More information:
Trying to read/write information to an existing db3 database (sendmail
aliases file).
I can read the file just fine. But when I try to issue:
$id = dba_open ("aliases5.db", "w", "db3");
I get:
[Wed Oct 8 08:56:44 2003] [error] PHP Warning:
dba_open(aliases5.db,w): Driver initialization failed for handler: db3:
Invalid argument in /usr/local/www/data/maillists/test3.php on line 3
After further testing I dumped the entire aliases db to a text file
using perl and recreated a copy of it with php:
$id = dba_open ("aliases5.db", "c", "db3");
This worked when creating a new file. The file sizes where were
different from the original so performed a db3_dump on the newly
created php db3 database. It seems that php is defaulting to a btree
format when trying to open with either w or c. My output from the
db3_dump on the php created db3:
VERSION=3
format=bytevalue
type=btree
HEADER=END
And from the one that sendmail created:
VERSION=3
format=bytevalue
type=hash
h_nelem=172
HEADER=END
Reproduce code:
---------------
//Note you need a hash database for this to fail
$id = dba_open ("aliases5.db", "w", "db3");
if (!$id) {
echo "dba_open failed\n";
exit;
}
dba_insert ("bkey", "bvalue", $id);
$key = dba_firstkey ($id);
while ($key != false)
{
echo "<br>Key: " . $key . "->Value: " . dba_fetch ( $key, $id);
$key = dba_nextkey ($id);
}
dba_close ($id);
Expected result:
----------------
To be able to insert into an existing (not created by php) db3 hash
database.
Actual result:
--------------
[Wed Oct 8 08:56:44 2003] [error] PHP Warning:
dba_open(aliases5.db,w): Driver initialization failed for handler: db3:
Invalid argument in /usr/local/www/data/maillists/test3.php on line 3
