Writing to dbase (dbf) deletes index (cdx)

Ave, I noticed something peculiar and I can't find a solution for this. I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm using the dbase functions to read & write from dbf (foxpro) tables. The DBF tables usually have an Index which is contained in filename.cdx. It appears that anytime I Write to the dbf table, it deletes the Index. Is there any way around this? Here's a simple code that I use for appending to a DBF table: // open in read-write mode $db = dbase_open("dbf/myfile.dbf", 2); // gets the old row if ($db) { $record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db); for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++) { $row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i); if ($row['SECCODE'] == $_COOKIE['seccodeCookie']) { unset($row["deleted"]); // Update fields $row['f1'] = $_POST['name']; $row['f2'] = $_POST['email']; //echo "Replacing Record number $i"; // Replace the record $row = array_values($row); dbase_replace_record($db, $row, $i) or die("Fatal Error"); } } } dbase_close($db); ?> Thanks. --- Rahul Sitaram Johari Founder, Internet Architects Group, Inc.
