Constantly getting this error and am not able to make any progress. I believe this to be a bug on PHP installed as a module.

Warning: driver initialization failed in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\anyatha3\login_fes\login_test.php on line 11
Failed opening existing dba file:passwords.db 
Warning: Unable to find DBA identifier 0 in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\anyatha3\login_fes\login_test.php on line 26

Warning: Unable to find DBA identifier 0 in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\anyatha3\login_fes\login_test.php on line 37
USERID = 

The script that I am running is:

<?php
  $handler_name = "db3";
  $file_name    = "passwords.db";
#  $file_path    = "../../ua_fes";
  $file_mode    = "passwords";
  $user_id      = "adrianlunga";
  $user_pwd     = "password";

 if (file_exists($file_name))
   {
   $db_id = dba_open($file_name, "w", $handler_name);
   if (!$db_id)
     {
     echo "Failed opening existing dba file:".$file_name."\n";
     }
   }
 else
   {
   $db_id = dba_open($file_name, "n", $handler_name);
   if (!$db_id)
     {
     echo "Failed opening new dba file:".$file_name."\n";
     }
   }

 if (dba_exists($file_name, $user_id))
   {
   $last_seen = dba_fetch($user_id, $db_id);
   }
  else
   {
  # dba_insert($file_name, $userid, $password);
   }

# do_stuff();
# dba_replace($string_handlername, $userid, time());
 dba_close($db_id);

  echo ("<HTML>");

    echo ("<HEAD>");
      echo ("<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Pragma\" CONTENT=\"no-cache\">");
      echo ("<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Content-Type\" CONTENT=\"text/html; charset=windows-1252\">");
      echo ("<LINK REL=\"stylesheet\" TYPE=\"text/css\" HREF=\"../../../main.css\">");
      echo ("<TITLE>");
        echo ("Login Page");
      echo ("</TITLE>");
    echo ("</HEAD>");

    echo ("<BODY TEXT         =\"black\"");
      echo ("    LINK         =\"blue\"");
      echo ("    VLINK        =\"black\"");

      echo ("    BGPROPERTIES =\"fixed\"");
    echo (">");

This sounds more like a local user error than a PHP error.  Are you sure you have a) permissions to write the file, and b) permissions to read the file?

Thanks man. It was indeed permissions. Had overlooked the idea that Windows 2000 is not really a standalone system i.e. it is trying to mimic Unix in that it is trying to be a multi-use environment.

I am having the same problem. When ever I call dba_open () function I get the driver initialization failed.

I have apache 2.xx installed on a Win 2K system and PHP 4 running as CGI. I read the above comment about permissions but as i am new to PHP and apache and am not at all familiar with unix i will need an idiots explanation.
