RE: [PEAR-DEV] Re: adodb or DB_ado for vfp (i.e. foxpro) access linux->windows

Hi Alex, thanks for the info, and for your class. After all, I could install everything on a win2k machine and convert it, then export it, etc. A guy named John, however, claimed on this list that he did successfully access such a db remotely from a linux machine. Let's hope he responds... John? JOHN? ;-) Uwe > -----Original Message----- > From: Alexios Fakos [mailto:alexios@php.net] > > Hi Uwe, > > > I'd like to connect to a vfp database lying on a win2k machine via php > running > > on a linux machine (Apache 1.3.23, php 4.2.2).
