What do I need to work with a database created by foxpro? "DBF" format. I am googling it as well, I just thought I'd ask here too. From what I've read, the server needs an odbc driver? Is that right?
Yep. I think that the FoxPro issue has been spoken about before here, but I think there are various foxpro viewers that will let you grab the data in the FoxPro database and export it to another format. Are you committed to FoxPro?
Foxpro files are generated by a 3rd party application. I can not change the application, so I have to find a way to either export xml files of the data nightly, or I have to find a way to access the files directly with php. All I need to do are selects, no modifying at all.
Is there a client api available for it? Or will ODBC or PDO take care of it? I am throwing out the questions because I don't know. I have never had to work with Foxpro through PHP.
