From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: linux PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Incomplete documentation for dba_replace
I think it might be worth mentioning in the documentation for the dba_replace function that to actually replace an entry in a *DBM-type database, you need to pad the value to the exact lenght of the value to be replaced. This seems to go for both entries shorter and longer than the replacing value. I also added a comment to the documention to this extent but this is, in my opinion, cardinal to the differance between dba_replace and dba_insert so it might be worth mentioning. Also, data corruption and infinite growth of the data file will result if the length is not padded. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19669&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19669&r=globals -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
