Does anyone know if its possible to connect to Paradox 7, (yup its an old db!).

If so what are the commands.
This is for my Intranet system that I am building.

thanks.

Michael.

Never done it, but you could try using the PX libraries (as far as I know, these cover Paradox versions 4,5,6, and 7, and ship with a brief intro to what is known about the Paradox file format):

A PEAR interface exists, but it requires PHP 5, as a minimum:

Some form of abstraction, to get away from native database methods would probably be advisable. On a Windows machine it would be fairly simple to establish an ODBC connection to the DB and then use the PHP 'odbc_' connectivity functions. This is possible (although less simple) on Unix, too, of course.

That's my 2pence on the avenues you could explore.
Take it easy,

great thanks Daniel.

I'll look into this.

Michael.
