[Phpwiki-talk] Better checking for database support

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

I've been kicking this idea around for a long time, but since it's a minor
matter it hasn't bubbled up. Why not do this sort of thing:

<?php

if (function_exists('dba_open')) {
  echo "dba_open exists<p>";
}

if (function_exists('dbmopen')) {
  echo "dbmopen exists<p>";
}

if (function_exists('mysql_pconnect')) {
  echo "mysql_pconnect exists<p>";
}

if (function_exists('pg_pconnect')) {
  echo "pg_pconnect exists<p>";
}


?>


to test to see if dbmlib, dbalib, etc. support is available? Wouldnt' this
at least be better for the initial out of the box installation?
