Hi Reini,

I'm looking at the version of DbaDatabase.php that was included in 
phpwiki-1.3.11_rc1 and I don't understand quite what you mean.

I see the following code fragment on lines 46-53:

      46         if (check_php_version(4,3,0) and (strlen($mode) == 1)) {
      47             // PHP 4.3.x Windows lock bug workaround: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=239     47 75
      48             if (isWindows()) {
      49                 $mode .= "-";                   // suppress locking, or
      50             } elseif ($this->_handler != 'gdbm') {      // gdbm does it internally
      51                 $mode .= "d";                   // else use internal locking
      52             }
      53         }
      54         while (($dbh = dba_open($this->_file, $mode, $this->_handler)) < 1) {
      55             if ($watchdog <= 0)
      56                 break;
      57             flush();
      58             // "c" failed, try "w" instead.
      59             if (substr($mode,0,1) == "c" and file_exists($this->_file))
      60                 $mode = "w";

But I don't see what I should change in here in order to make it work.  I 
don't see where $mode ever gets set to "c" and how I can make any changes 
to make it work....
