Hi everyone,
I need to convert a Visual foxpro database to mysql using PHP.
Do someone know's how to access foxpro tables structure that way ?
I have ODBC properly configured on WinXP
I do know how to create and populate the mysql database using PHP, but I'm stuck with foxpro.
any idea would be highly appreciated
thank's

Bump!
I'd be interested to know this too, as I've just inherited a Visual Fox Pro 98 database and I'm trying to convert it to MySQL using PHP. So far I haven't been able to. As I'm dealing with 30 constantly updating tables I didn't want to have to dump them all to delimited text files & brute force them in. The manuals don't have any mention of how to do this or what file types are involved. Anyone know?

Have you tried using the MyODBC drivers to connect the two databases using ODBC? In the docs it says that MyODBC has been tested with FoxPro.

Thanks Mac, I don't know why my searches didn't turn that up, so thanks for the pointer.
