FUNCTIONS

open_ftndb

Syntax: $db_handle = open_ftndb($db_type, $db_name, $db_user, $db_pass);

Open a database for Fidonet/FTN processing, where:

$db_type The database type. This needs to be a database type for which a DBD module exists, the type being the name as used in the DBD module. The default type to be used is SQLite.
$db_name The database name.
$db_user The database user, which should already have the neccesary priviledges.
$db_pass The database password for the database user.
$db_handle The database handle being returned to the calling program.

close_ftndb

Syntax: close_ftndb($db_handle);

Closing an FTN database, where $db_handle is an existing open database handle.
