>&#13;     These functions allow you to access records stored in dBase-format
     (dbf) databases.
    </P
><P
>&#13;     There is no support for indexes or memo fields. There is no
     support for locking, too. Two concurrent webserver processes
     modifying the same dBase file will very likely ruin your database.
    </P
><P
>&#13;     dBase files are simple sequential files of fixed
     length records. Records are appended to the end of
     the file and delete records are kept until you call
     <A

    </P
><P
>&#13;     We recommend that you do not use dBase files as your production
     database. Choose any real SQL server instead; MySQL or Postgres
     are common choices with PHP. dBase support is here to allow you to
     import and export data to and from your web database, because the
     file format is commonly understood by Windows spreadsheets and
     organizers.
