This module generates a bunch of php4 extensions as shared modules, and seperates them out into multiple packages. End result is that you can pkg_add individual modules now without getting into the mess of flavors that we've had in the past. Work by wilfried@ and me, espie@ ok

These functions allow you to access records stored in dBase-format
|
|
(dbf) databases.
|
|
|
|
There is no support for indexes or memo fields. There is no support
|
|
for locking, too. Two concurrent webserver processes modifying the
|
|
same dBase file will very likely ruin your database.
|
|
|
|
dBase files are simple sequential files of fixed length records.
|
|
Records are appended to the end of the file and delete records are
|
|
kept until you call dbase_pack().
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you do not use dBase files as your production
|
|
database. Choose any real SQL server instead; MySQL or Postgres are
|
|
common choices with PHP. dBase support is here to allow you to
|
|
import and export data to and from your web database, because the
|
|
file format is commonly understood by Windows spreadsheets and
|
|
organizers.
