Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Hi [Regarding PHPTwiki]

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

As an aside, it should be possible to test for the exsistence of the 
function dba_open and trap the error, and send the user a meaningful 
message ("you do not have DBM support compiled into your version of PHP, 
go talk to your admin"). This has always been our #1 problem with the 
default install.

I have often wondered if moving to a default of a flat file database 
wouldn't alleviate this problem; but then, what directory can we write 
to on Windows boxen?
