Esta extensión es EXPERIMENTAL. Esto significa que el comportamiento de esta extensión, los nombre de sus funciones y en definitiva TODO lo documentado sobre esta extensión, puede cambiar en una futura versión de PHP SIN AVISO. La advertencia queda hecha, y utilizar esta extensión queda bajo su propia responsabilidad.
This module allows to read and write Paradox databases, primary index files and blob files. Write support has been proven to be quite reliable, though due to lack of documentation the produced files may not in any case be readable by other applications. Encrypted databases can be read without specifying a password if pxlib >= 0.5.0 is used.
Note: This module is also in development and may change, though I don't expect major changes to the API.
You need at least PHP 5.0.0 and pxlib >= 0.4.4 for the basic set of functions. Some newer functions are only available with pxlib >= 0.6.0. Reading and writing of encrypted databases requires at least pxlib >= 0.5.0. The paradox library (pxlib) is available at » http://pxlib.sourceforge.net.

Make sure you have pxlib installed before. If you install pxlib from an rpm or debian package, do not forget to install the development package as well.
Esta extensión no tiene directivas de configuración en php.ini.
The paradox extension provides also an object oriented API. It consists of only one class called paradox_db. Its methods only differ from the functions in its name and of course the missing first parameter. The following table will list all methods and its equivalent functions.

| retrieve_record() | px_retrieve_record() |
| delete_record() | px_delete_record() |
| insert_record() | px_insert_record() |
| update_record() | px_update_record() |

| timestamp2string() | px_timestamp2string() |
px_new() creates a new Paradox object required by all Paradox functions.
Estas constantes están definidas por esta extensión y estarán disponibles solamente cuando la extensión ha sido o bien compilada dentro de PHP o grabada dinámicamente en tiempo de ejecución.
