php4 can't use dba modules?



hi.

i've been having an ongoing discussion with the author of phpwiki.  i've
also had a couple other problems with other php packages which use db
stuff, at this point i'm not sure if the problems i'm having are my
stupidity, a bug in the debian package or a programming issue with the
programs i'm trying to run.  however in both the packages i'm having
problems with (phpwiki and sips) a couple other debian users have had
problems.

my question is this.  are the db2 (dba_) extensions compiled in based on
what i can find in the docs they are, and they are in the main php4
package.  in order to enable them do i have to add anything to php.ini?

if the script uses dba which is supposedly linked agains db2 ... why do i
get gdbm errors?

any help etc would be much appreciated.

thanks,
adam.

Yes, this is just PHP saying it got a variable that should be an array
but was not.

I can't find any reference to this error on the PHP site... perhaps you
could email the maintainer of the PHP package for Debian? I wish I could
offer more but at the moment I'm stumped.
