The behaviour of various aspects depends on the implementation of the underlying database. Functions such as dba_optimize() and dba_sync() will do what they promise for one database and will do nothing for others. You have to download and install supported dba-Handlers.

Handler Notes
dbm Dbm is the oldest (original) type of Berkeley DB style databases. You should avoid it, if possible. We do not support the compatibility functions built into DB2 and gdbm, because they are only compatible on the source code level, but cannot handle the original dbm format.
ndbm Ndbm is a newer type and more flexible than dbm. It still has most of the arbitrary limits of dbm (therefore it is deprecated).
gdbm Gdbm is the » GNU database manager.
db2 DB2 is for » Oracle Berkeley DB 2. It is described as "a programmatic toolkit that provides high-performance built-in database support for both standalone and client/server applications."
db3 DB3 is for » Oracle Berkeley DB 3.
db4 DB4 is for » Oracle Berkeley DB 4 or 5. This option can be used with BDB 5 as of PHP 5.3.3.
cdb Cdb is "a fast, reliable, lightweight package for creating and reading constant databases." It is from the author of qmail and can be found at » http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html. Since it is constant, we support only reading operations. We support writing (not updating) through the internal cdb library.
cdb_make We support creation (not updating) of cdb files when the bundled cdb library is used.
flatfile This is available for compatibility with the deprecated dbm extension only and should be avoided. However you may use this where files were created in this format. That happens when configure could not find any external library.
inifile This is available to be able to modify php.ini files from within PHP scripts. When working with ini files you can pass arrays of the form array(0=>group,1=>value_name) or strings of the form "[group]value_name" where group is optional. As the functions dba_firstkey() and dba_nextkey() return string representations of the key there is the function dba_key_split() which allows to convert the string keys into array keys without loosing false.
qdbm The qdbm library can be downloaded from » http://fallabs.com/qdbm/index.html.
tcadb The Tokyo Cabinet library can be downloaded from » http://fallabs.com/tokyocabinet/.
lmdb This is available since PHP 7.2.0. The Lightning Memory-Mapped Database library can be downloaded from » https://symas.com/lmdb/.

When invoking the dba_open() or dba_popen() functions, one of the handler names must be supplied as an argument. The actually available list of handlers is displayed by invoking phpinfo() or dba_handlers().
