Re: PHP dBASE connectivity

1. Please don't cross post. 2. Which line is #23? 3. Have you tested to ensure that you have a valid handle? ($db_num) 4. Have you tried adding error code to see the result of dbase_create(), dbase_open() 5. I seem to remember reading in the docs, a long time ago (2 yr) that the dbase functions were not really reliable and were intended mostly to extract info for export to another database. I could not be 100% wrong on that, and I've not worked with the dbase functions in PHP. After this reply, please keep this focused on the php-db list.

Hi I need to use PHP (ver 4 windows) to add a record to a dBase iv database. I can create, open, read and close a database but when I try to add a record I always get the following error: Warning: unexpected error in C:\php\phpstuff\addTest1.php on line 23 Here is the code [shortened] that I use to create the database table, open the table, create the record and add the record- the database table has one field a 10 char string: $dbname = "test1.dbf"; $dbflag = 2;

$def = array( array("name",     "C",  10));

dbase_create($dbname, $def)); $db_num = dbase_open($dbname, $dbflag); $new_record['name'] = 'xxxxxxxxxx'; dbase_add_record ($db_num, $new_record); any help, advice or code samples would be very appreciated thanks Labhras -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
