RE: [PHP] Problems with dbase_create function
You pretty much have to give the directory 777 permissions. On a shared
server, this is not the ideal solution, but it's the only one. No
worries if you're on a dedicated server.

RE: [PHP] Problems with dbase_create function
I considered that...
Problem is I'm not 100% certain how to set that the correct way... (so as
not to screw anything else up)
Recommendations?
Thanks
PS It's good to know I wasn't completely off base... thanks millions!

RE: [PHP] Problems with dbase_create function
Does the web server have permission to write to the directory where you
are trying to create the database? PHP runs as the web server when
installed as a module and it needs permission to write in that
directory.

[PHP] Problems with dbase_create function
Hey All,
I'm trying to build a DBF for exporting selected data as a download to the
end users... But I can't get further than this...
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$DBFName = "Test.dbf";
$Fields = array( array ("Test","C",32) );
if(dbase_create($DBFName, $Fields))
{ echo "Good!"; } else { echo "Bad!"; }
It doesn't show an error... and it doesn't create the dbf... it just shows
"Bad!" and nothing else.
Any ideas where I should begin looking? I admit I'm not the most savvy
Linux user but I at least got it to admit that the function existed (under
a freshly compiled php with --enable-dbase on Redhat Linux 7.2)
I've also tried $DBFName="./Test.dbf" and
"/full_path_from_root_to_html_folder/Test.dbf" and neither work. I've also
looked through the archives for this list and for the php-db list and
haven't seen anything that helps (other than my earlier problem of not
having enabled dbase, which appears to be fixed, before it wouldn't even
show "Bad!". )
Thanks in advance for any ideas...
Matt
