I took one of the examples and tried to run against my database
ls -l /data1/mail/db/cur.1
total 1129624

php ex.php /data1/mail/db/cur.1 henry
DatabaseOpeningError: Couldn't detect type of database
From the ex.php file:
include "/usr/share/php/xapian.php";
if ($argc < 3) {
print "Usage: {$argv[0]} PATH_TO_DATABASE QUERY\n";
exit(1);
}
// Open the database for searching.
try {
$database = new XapianDatabase($argv[1]);
// Start an enquire session.
$enquire = new XapianEnquire($database);
...
What did I miss?

Lack of chert support in the Xapian behind PHP might explain that? J -- James Aylett talktorex.co.uk - xapian.org - devfort.com
