[Bobs-devel] db3/db4 configuration

[Joe Z. <jz...@co...>]

I have a plan to make bobs support both db3 and db4 in php. I'd like to 
run it by anyone who cares to comment.

1) During the ./configure phase (./configure also runs during rpm 
install) see whether db3 or db4 is supported. Set a variable in 
inc/config.php: $sys_conf["dbhandler"] would be either "db3" or "db4".

2) add a function get_db_handler() to class_config.php.

3) include class_config.php in any files that use dba_open() and use a 
variable loaded from get_db_handler() for the third parameter (db 
handler) in dba_open().

A php upgrade from db3 to db4 would require re-installing bobs or just 
changing db3 to db4 in config.php.

Any comments are welcome.
