RE: [PHP-DB] dbase_ commands dont work

You do not need the dBase program installed to use the bundled dBase functions within PHP. All the dBase functions allow you to do is read/write dBase files in a limitted fashion, i.e. no indexes, no memos, no concurrent access, etc. You need to configure PHP with the --with-dbase flag, then compile it as normal. I've been using the dBase functions to on Linux to read dBase files from a legacy inventory system to import the data into Interbase. Frank ------------------------------ Franklin J.

The database functions are interfaces to the programs, not to the files.
