Php Extension Question

[Guest Don Bernhard]

Hi. I'm shopping around for hosting and I really like what you have to offer. I have a simple question.

 

For my web site I will need to work with dbase (.dbf) files. Reasons are complicated, but simply put, I'm locked into that file format for now. (Maybe I can migrate to mySQL eventually, but not yet.)

 

Anyway, in order for php to be able to open, close, read, write, etc. a dbase file it is my understanding that the extension "php_dbase.dll" must be enabled. First of all, is that true? If so, do you have "php_dbase.dll" enabled in your php.ini file? If not currently enabled, is that something that could be done by you or by me as a customer with a virtual hosting plan?

 

btw, dbase extension is discussed here:

See near the bottom of the page at "Installing dBase Support"

 

Thanks.

 

Don

On the server I am it does not appear like that is enabled but I am sure a TCH tech can answer it for sure.

Hi Don,

 

We don't provide dbase support in PHP on our servers, sorry.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep TCH in mind when I get to the point I can put everything into MySQL.
