<para>
By using the <option role="configure">--enable-dba=shared</option>
configuration option you can build a dynamic loadable module to enable PHP
for basic support of dbm-style databases. You also have to add support
for at least one of the following handlers by specifying the
<option role="configure">--with-XXXX</option> or <option role="configure">--enable-XXXX</option> configure switch to your PHP
configure line.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
After configuring and compiling PHP you must execute the following test
from commandline: <literal>php run-tests.php ext/dba</literal>. This shows
whether your combination of handlers works. Most problematic are
<literal>dbm</literal> and <literal>ndbm</literal> which conflict with
many installations. The reason for this is that on several systems these
libraries are part of more than one other library. The configuration test
only prevents you from configuring malfunctioning single handlers but not
combinations.

To enable support for cdb add

<note>
<para>
You can omit DIR to use the bundled cdb library
that adds the cdb_make handler which allows creation of cdb files
and allows to access cdb files on the network using PHP's streams.

<note>
<para>
This was added to add compatibility with deprecated
<literal>dbm</literal> extension. Use this handler only
when you cannot install one of the libraries required by the other
handlers and when you cannot use bundled cdb handler.
