Paradox File Access
Introductie
Deze module is EXPERIMENTEEL. Dat betekent, dat het gedrag van deze functies, deze functienamen, in concreto ALLES dat hier gedocumenteerd is in een toekomstige uitgave van PHP ZONDER WAARSCHUWING kan veranderen. Wees gewaarschuwd, en gebruik deze module op eigen risico.
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.
Afhankelijkheden
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 » https://pxlib.sourceforge.net.
Installatie
Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » https://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.

Object oriented API
The paradox extension provides also an object oriented API. It consists of only one class called paradox_db. Its methods only differ from the functions in its name and of course the missing first parameter. The following table will list all methods and its equivalent functions.

|---|---|
| Constructor | px_new() |
| Destructor | px_delete() |
| open_fp() | px_open_fp() |
| create_fp() | px_create_fp() |
| close() | px_close() |
| numrecords() | px_numrecords() |
| numfields() | px_numfields() |
| get_record() | px_get_record() |
| put_record() | px_put_record() |
| retrieve_record() | px_retrieve_record() |
| delete_record() | px_delete_record() |
| insert_record() | px_insert_record() |
| update_record() | px_update_record() |
| get_field() | px_get_field() |
| get_schema() | px_get_schema() |
| get_info() | px_get_info() |
| set_parameter() | px_set_parameter() |
| get_parameter() | px_get_parameter() |
| set_value() | px_set_value() |
| get_value() | px_get_value() |
| get_info() | px_get_info() |
| set_targetencoding() | px_set_targetencoding() |
| set_tablename() | px_set_tablename() |
| set_blob_file() | px_set_blob_file() |
| date2string() | px_date2string() |
| timestamp2string() | px_timestamp2string() |
Resource types
px_new() creates a new Paradox object required by all Paradox functions.
