When you have a key "0" or so in your DB, then the example don't works, because "while ($key)" will return false for 0 ...
I had good experiences with "while (strlen($key)>0)" as condition ... because when we have the last key false is returned and false evaluates to "nothing" ...

<?php
$key = dbmfirstkey($dbm_id);

echo "$key = " . dbmfetch($dbm_id, $key) . "\n";
$key = dbmnextkey($dbm_id, $key);
}

dbmnext() seems to lose the thread if the program deletes keys as it walks through all rows. I imagine that something similar happens with inserts. One way around this is to make two passes: one to collect the keys and one to manipulate the rows. For example:
<?php
$old_keys = array();
for ($key = dbmfirstkey($db); $key; $key = dbmnextkey($db, $key)) {
$old_keys[] = $key;
}
while (list($_, $key) = each($old_keys)) {
dbmdelete($db, $key);
}
?>
