Ave, Let¹s say I have a DBF file residing on my somewhere. It has 20 fields, and about 100 records. Is it possible for me to Query that DBF file, so I can search that database for a record and Display the row using PHP? Basically what I want to do is pull out a record from that DBF file that matches the ³Phone Number² entered by the user... And show that record on my PHP page. What I¹m doing is importing all the DBF records in my mySQL database, and then doing the search on that mySQL database and displaying records. I want to eliminate the mySQL database and query the DBF file directly and display records from it. There¹s very little that I find anywhere on the internet pertaining to the dbase functions in php. I¹m easily able to open a DBF file, read all the data and import it into mySQL using some functions I¹ve written. I just don¹t know if I can search the Database or match a record and display it without importing it into mySQL. Any suggestions? Rahul S.
