<?
$datab = "/db/test.dbf";
$create =
array(
array("date", "D"),
array("name", "C", 50),
array("email", "C", 128),
);

$make = dbase_create($datab, $create);

try using Microsoft ACCESS or try from odbc connection. let as know if this solve your question

this code worked fine on my setup.

Adding a record and dumping the file as confirmation gave

$rec = array('20030426','Fred','[e-mail]');
dbase_add_record($make, $rec);

 g      ‚ »     

date       D    

name       C    

2               

email      C    

€               

<  20030426Fred 


         fre
[email][e-mail][/email] 

Is the dbase extension enabled?
Are you getting any error messages?
Is the dbf file path OK? Try specifying the full path.

these are the errors i get:

Warning: Unable to create database (22): Invalid argument in c:\websites\cascadehosting63\cascade-hosting.com\dbtests\databtest.php on line 17

Warning: Unable to find database for identifier 0 in c:\websites\cascadehosting63\cascade-hosting.com\dbtests\databtest.php on line 19

my new code:

$datab = "(fullpath)/dbtests/test.dbf"; 
$create = 
array( 
array("date", "D"), 
array("name", "C", 50), 
array("email", "C", 128), 
); 
$make = dbase_create($datab, $create);
$rec = array('20030426','Fred','[e-mail]');
dbase_add_record($make, $rec);

if (!$make) 
{ 
print "didn't work blah"; 
} 

All i can think of is the server doesnt have dbf enable. if the code worked for you. i had the full path typed in ect. I dont see anything wroung with the code anyone see anything i am missing?

one question i am guessing to use ACCESS im gonna have to go buy the program.

also the server is not mine i just rent.
thanks for the help

my new code:

$datab = "(fullpath)/dbtests/test.dbf"; 

I would have expected to see something like

$datab = "C:/ ... /dbtests/test.dbf";

where c:/..../dbtests is the full directory path to your database, not just the word 'fullpath'.

lol hehe yeah the full stuff is in it not jsut the word (full) i jsut took it out for some reason 😛
