RE: [PHP-DB] dbase_ commands dont work From: Balak, Frank (frank.balak <email protected>)
Date: 12/13/00

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.

You have to have the DBase program installed before you use it. The
database functions are interfaces to the programs, not to the files.
