[cobalt-developers] PHP 4.0.6 - and db3

["Paul" <cobaltdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a quick one!

Yesterday, a project I was working on required the use of PHP's FTP
functions. I found that these are not compiled into the version that is on
our RaQ4r's so I downloaded the 4.0.6 source.

But, in order for it to compile, I had to remove the "--with-db3"
./configure directive (and add the --enable-ftp). Everything seems to be
working OK, so my question is thus:-

    What have I dissabled by removing the db3 option? And if the original
install used this option ( phpinfo() shows it ), why did 4.0.6 ./configure
fail with missing libraries when it was included in the configure list?

Ta,

Paul
