[SOLVED] Connecting Php to Fox Pro database
« on: January 21, 2009, 03:56:07 PM »
Hello again all,

I have recently been assigned to add a section to our website that would collect sensitive information from our customers. As is standard procedure of the company i work for, we want to avoid sending this information through email and are looking for ways to have it update our current customer database.

I'm sstill learning php and the only database i've connected to and played around with is a MySQL one. Our current database is Visual Foxpro... Does anyone know of some documentation i can read up on about connecting and updating a vfp database with php?

thanks again

I'm afraid there's no dedicated extension for VFP in PHP. I suppose you could try with ODBC

could also possibly find a solution using com()
