Hi,

dba_open() ignores the umask settings if you create a new database.

I think dba_open should also respect the umask settings, as well as fopen().

Regards,

Steve

http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

If you can provide more information, feel free to add it
to this bug and change the status back to "Open".

Thank you for your interest in PHP.


Could you post a reproducing script that shows in what way fopen considers umask and dba does not?

But maybe you try dba_open with gdbm handler which allows a filemask as a forth parameter.

I can confirm this bug and provide an example (Gentoo with PHP 
5.2.6_rc4 here):

$oldUmask = umask(0117);
$dbm = dba_popen("/some/file.dbm", "c");
umask($oldUmask);

For some handlers (tested: gdbm, qdbm), the file permissions always 
are 0640 or -rw-r----- no matter what umask is set.

Regards, Ronino
