No access to Xapian::Auto::open(path, CREATE_..) in PHP

[Mikael Johansson]

The overloaded open method is only avaliable as Database open(const std::string &path);

and not as would be required if one would like to write to it WritableDatabase open(const std::string &path, int action);

"PHP Fatal error: unknown error in Xapian in" when doing new_WritableDatabase(open(path)). Perhaps one could fix the open() function to check how many arguments was sent and do the right thing or perhaps a new function open_in_mode(path, mode) in the bindings would be warranted?

The Privoxy filters fudged the open() into PrivoxyWindowOpen() ..

This was highlighted on the mailing list recently. I thought someone was looking into a fix - I'll check...

I've just gone in to try to fix this, and there's already a renamed version! In PHP, the WritableDatabase form is wrapped as:

open_writable(path, action)

Sorry I didn't check earlier.

I've now added a note to this effect to the documentation.

Fixed in 0.8.2
