The chapter about php_db4 in the BDB documentation need to be updated

Question

Hi all,
I think the chapter about php_db4 in the BerkeleyDB documentation should be updated.
The first sentence "A PHP 4 extension for this release of Berkeley DB..." gave me the concept that the extension can be ONLY run with PHP 4. I've got the idea that DBXML's php extension can run with PHP 5, so the BDB's extension should work with PHP 5 too.(Perhaps I'm not clever enough, but it did give me the wrong thought.)
It's too simple in the documentation to let everyone know how to sovle the problems in compile process(and such subjects are hard to be found through search engines).
I had compiled BDB 4.5 on my Fedora Core 6. When I make the php_db4, it could not finish normally(with some errors). When I added CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS, it solved - this should be written somewhere in the documentation or at lease in the INSTALL file, right?
In the INSTALL file, it says "PHP can itself be forced to link against libpthread either by manually editing its build files (which some distributions do), or by building it with --with-experimental-zts". But at least I can't find this option in the configure of PHP 5.2.1. Only an option '--enable-maintainer-zts' can be found, and it is noted as 'for code maintainers only'(so it should not be enabled by end-users with less experience, isn't it?). PHP 5.2.1's TSRM is ptheads-enabled by default, I don't know whether I should follow the note about pthreads or not.
Anyway, I can use the native API of BerkeleyDB in my php code now. Thanks for the developers! Hope the documentation can be updated with more directives, so the new users of php_db4 can use it more smoothly:-)

To each their own, but you can always install the Google Maps app.

Nothing is further from the truth.  Installing updates does not cause hardware issues or hardware to stop working.  Anyone that tells you otherwise is completely ignorant.
I (and millions of others) have installed iOS updates with little or no adverse affects.  The vast majority of issues that arise during an iOS update can be rectified with basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide.
There is no legitimate reason to not update the iOS which adds new features and fixes security issues in iOS.

My other problem is that someone proxied the call to ATT to obtain the unlock so I don't know exactly what happened and if in fact they did agree to unlock or perhaps lied instead or did something else.  But I don't have the account information for ATT since it's a group account so i'm SOL. 
Well, there you go.  You need to contact AT&T or get the correct information and go to AT&T's website and request the unlock.
There are no codes, as you've already found out.
Once the unlock has been approved, AT&T will email you to let you know it has been processed and that the next step is to restore the device.
