Does anyone have any experience using berkeley db with PHP?

问题

I have to access and write to some berkeley db files that other applications share.

I really haven't found anything out there about using this with PHP. It really doesn't seem very popular.

Does anyone have any links or resources that I might be able to use to get things rolling?

Thanks!

Isn't this what the dba functions are for?

I've had some code some years ago with that. Didn't use it much however, because it was a somewhat inefficient data store. And it seems kind of pointless in the light of SQLite now anyway. But btw: http://schlueters.de/blog/archives/134-Berkeley-DB-5-and-PHP.html

Berkley DB isn't really meant for multi-user access. It is much better for an embedded database that is accessed by one process.

PHP processes run asyncronously on the web site. This means a php script accessing a Berkley DB has to rely on file locking to handle concurrent access.

This is very inefficient. thus no BDB support in php.

If you want to use BDB in a multi-user environment, you should write a web service in perl/c/python/etc that talks to BDB, and accepts connections from php. Or you could just use a real db server like mysql, postgres or something and save yourself the headache.
