[PHP-DOC] #19669 [NEW]: Incomplete documentation for dba_replace From: jelte.werkhoven <email protected>

Bug description: Incomplete documentation for dba_replace

I think it might be worth mentioning in the documentation for the
dba_replace function that to actually replace an entry in a *DBM-type
database, you need to pad the value to the exact lenght of the value to be
replaced. This seems to go for both entries shorter and longer than the
replacing value. I also added a comment to the documention to this extent
but this is, in my opinion, cardinal to the differance between dba_replace
and dba_insert so it might be worth mentioning. Also, data corruption and
infinite growth of the data file will result if the length is not padded.
