px_new

px_new -- Create a new paradox object

Description

resource px_new (void )

Create a new paradox object. You will have to call this function before any further functions. px_new() does not create any file on the disk, it justs creates an instance of a paradox object. Returns FALSE on failure.

Example 1. Opening a Paradox database

<?php
if(!$pxdoc = px_new()) {
  /* Error handling */
}
$fp = fopen("test.db", "r");
if(!px_open_fp($pxdoc, $fp)) {
  /* Error handling */
}
// ...
px_close($pxdoc);
px_delete($pxdoc);
fclose($fp);
?>

If you prefer the object oriented API, then the above example will look like the following.

Example 2. Opening a Paradox database

<?php
$fp = fopen("test.db", "r");
$pxdoc = new paradox_db();
if(!$pxdoc->open_fp($fp)) {
  /* Error handling */
}
// ...
$pxdoc->close();
fclose($fp);
?>
