dba_open cannot write

I am trying to write data to a db3 alias file that sendmail uses (made a
copy for testing).  When I read the file using:

$id = dba_open ("aliaseswww.db", "r", "db3");

It works.  But when I try to change it to:

$id = dba_open ("aliaseswww.db", "w", "db3");

I get:

dba_open(aliaseswww.db,w): Driver initialization failed for handler: db3:
Invalid argument in /usr/local/www/data/maillists/test.php on line 5

I don't know what the "Invalid argument" is?  It seems as if it is missing
the "db3" on the end of the dba_open, but I put it there.  I have checked
file permisions and everything checks out.  Any ideas?

-Bob

OK, using the putenv code you posted, I now have:

<?php
putenv('TZ=Europe/London');
echo date("l jS F Y, g:i A, T");
?>

Which displays:
Wednesday 1st October 2003, 1:19 AM, BST

The time and date is correct (thankgod!) but how comes the time zone is BST
(?) and not GMT?

PHP isn't complaining about the argument, the driver was unable to
open the db3 file in 'w' mode, which means the driver doesn't like
the 'w' flag.

My only guess is that you have permission problems with the file.
But you said you've already checked that.

So why not subscribe to the php.dev list and propose it there?

What exactly do you mean by "extended characters"? And, do you mean all *other* characters are inserted
properly? Anyway,...

Well, setting the "default-character-set" to "ujis" for both the server and the client works for me.

I think I've seen this problem when the images are viewed *individually* using IE. However, there seems to
be no problem when it's "inside" an HTML page...

It does have a problem reading alpha channels in the pngs
though.

Quite true. (I "forgot" that part...) Though it seems like it's not a
problem for the IE on Macs...

...and then I thought IE's problems were all about security and
non-standard tags... ;)
