Or is there some way to tell me, in > general terms, how to configure PHP to allow the dbase functions to be used? if godaddy is recommending that you place values in a .htaccess file they probly mean you should upload a .htaccess file via ftp. im assuming thats how the give you access to the system (since there is no ssh access). im a bit unsure of the .htaccess setting, though i recently posted a small how-to on using .htaccess files to override settings in php.ini; this is common in shared hosting environments. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_php.ini_overrides_w/_.htaccess basically, to have dbase support, php must be compiled w/ --enable-dbase, per the documentation. http://www.php.net/manual/en/rlef.dbase.php perhaps, it is compiled in and the php.ini settings are preventing you from using the functions (though that sounds hard to believe). you might try tossing a phpinfo script on the box and looking for dbase in the output; particularly look for --enable-dbase, or --disable-dbase. you should see a dbase section also, if its compiled in. if it is there we can get a better idea of what sort of values could be placed in the .htaccess file that would influence the behavior of the dbase component on that system. -nathan
