[Phpwiki-talk] Re: Question about PHPWiki and PHP4

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Hello again Martin,

This is the second perplexing problem we've had this week with DBM based
installs and PHP 4.0.4. I'm going to build 4.0.4 myself tonight to see if
there isn't a bug in PHP itself. The ChangeLog for 4.0.4 shows at least
two changes relating to DBM support.
