I just want to get this completely clear in my head. You've created a
database using the Java bindings 1.04 and Xapian 1.04, you can search
correctly using the Java bindings but not the PHP5 bindings 1.04. If
you create the database using the Python bindings 1.04, then
<something> (it's not clear what - using PHP bindings?) says it's the
wrong database type.

If you create a database using the PHP bindings, you can search it
using PHP. Similarly, PHP can search an omindex-created database
(using omega 1.04).

I may be confused, but it sounds to me like you may have some
different versions knocking around (and possibly some other problems
as well). I'd also like to know what the actual error was in the very
first thing you report (PHP bindings not searching a Java
binding-created database). You just say it doesn't work - does it give
an error? Does it give no results?

Other information may be helpful at some point, such as what the
database type is (flint or quartz), are you using stemming, and so
on.
