CDB functions for PHP

CDB, short for "constant database", refers to a very fast and highly reliable database system which uses a simple file with key value pairs. This library wraps the CDB functionality exposed in PHP via the dba_* functions. In cases where dba_* functions are not present or are not compiled with CDB support, a pure-PHP implementation is provided for falling back.

Additional documentation about the library can be found on MediaWiki.org.

Usage

// Reading a CDB file
$cdb = \Cdb\Reader::open( 'db.cdb' );
$foo = $cdb->get( 'somekey' );

// Writing to a CDB file
$cdb = \Cdb\Writer::open( 'anotherdb.cdb' );
$cdb->set( 'somekey', $foo );

Running tests

composer install --prefer-dist
composer test

History
