FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package php-dbf

PHP DBase

A simple library for dealing with dbf databases like dBase and FoxPro. It's a port of PHPXbase class written by Erwin Kooi, updated to a PSR-2 compliant code and tweaked for performance and to solve some issues the original code had.

Installation

You can install it through Composer:

Sample usage

More samples in examle folder.

Reading data

If the data in DB is not in UTF-8 you can specify a charset to convert the data from:

It is also possible to read Memos from dedicated files. Just make sure that .fpt file with the same name as main database exists.

Performance

You can pass an array of the columns that you need to the constructor, then if your table has columns that you don't use they will not be loaded. This way the parser can run a lot faster.

If you know the column type already, you can also call the type-specific function for that field, which increases the speed too.

Editing Data

To open a table for editing, you have to use a TableEditor object, as on this example:

Add new record

Delete record

Creating table

To create a table file you need to use the TableCreator object.

Troubleshooting

I'm not an expert on dBase and I don't know all the specifics of the field types and versions, so the lib may not be able to handle some situations. If you find an error, please open an issue and send me a sample table that I can reproduce your problem, and I'll try to help.
