Looking at the output of a call to phpinfo() I see this compile option: --enable-dba
I looked around for any loadable modules, but did not find any modules. Is this a bug in the php5 build or am I missing something?
I'm one of the maintainers of php5. I agree -- dba_open() is undefined. ./configure output is interesting...

So it's enabled... but it isn't. Apparently.
What type of database are you trying to access with dba? It looks like each possibility must be enabled separately. I'm not sure if each of these implies bringing in additional dependencies. If it does, I'm inclined to move dba support to a variant. Comments / suggestions welcome.
A variant would probably be best since you can use different dba handlers like gdbm, qdbm, db4, etc Here is the link to --enable-dba http://us3.php.net/dba Or you could use: --enable-dba=shared Then you could have a variant for each dba handler with: --with-db4[=DIR] --with-gdbm[=DIR] --with-qdbm[=DIR] /* Note: qdbm conflicts with dbm and gdbm */ Then a user just has to enable an extension for db4, gdbm or qdbm, etc. Thanks for the help, P.S. Please CC: me if you update the port. Jim
