Paradox File Access

Introducción

Warning

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.

Requisitos

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.

Instalación

Mas informacion sobre nuevos lanzamientos, descargas ficheros de fuentes, informacion sobre los responsables asi como un 'CHANGELOG', se puede encontrar aqui: » http://pecl.php.net/package/paradox

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.

Configuración en tiempo de ejecución
