Apache Friends Support Forum

Well the topic pretty much is the question. Does the compilied version of PHP with XAMPP have dBase support?

Thanks for the help.

The dBase extension is a shared library and you must enable it in the "php.ini".

By enable do you mean uncomment it? like removing the ";"? I recieved an error when running the dBase functions such as "create_dbase()" and wondered if it was compilied into the build?

Yes.

and wondered if it was compilied into the build?

No. It's not compiled in, it's a shared extension (only shared extension you must enable in the php.ini).

I recieved an error when running the dBase functions such as "create_dbase()"

a) you have an error like: "i am at lunch, your PHP interpreter"...

b) there is no function "create_dbase()".

I removed the comment ";"

I only asked if it was compiled due to the comment from http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.dbase.php where it says under installation that "you must compile PHP with the --enable-dbase option."

And as for the command, it's dbase_create() that I was using and recieved a "Fatal Error: Call to undefined function dbase_create()"

But thank you for your help.

You have made this change in the correct php.ini?
--> \xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

Don't forget to restart Apache.

That's for Unix.
