It should be noted that it is not always safe to iterate through the database while changing it at the same time. For example:

<?php
$db
=dba_open(...);

// remove all values shorter than 10 characters
for ($key=dba_firstkey($db); $key!==false; $key=dba_nextkey($db)) {
   
$s=dba_fetch($key, $db);
    if (
strlen($s)<10) {
       
dba_delete($key, $db);
    }
}
?>

The above example will work fine with db4 handler, but not with gdbm. It is handler specific.
