php and .dbf

Post by jojonage »

I have read about dbase and odbc.
I can print out the records in one table(one .dbf file) with both methods

but I am wondering if PHP can join 2 or more .dbf tables together?
I've been googleing for a few days, still have no idea on it,
It would be very nice if anyone can give me some advises

Thank you!

I don't think you can join these file based database systems. Perhaps there is some server that can access them and do the JOIN. It would probably be easiest to import the data into a relational database (if you have one available).
