px_new

(PECL paradox >= 1.0.0)

Create a new paradox object

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 just creates an instance of a paradox object. This function must not be called if the object oriented interface is used. Use new paradox_db() instead.

Returns:

Returns FALSE on failure.

Examples:

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);
?>

Opening a Paradox database

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

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