Ave,

Let¹s say I have a DBF file residing on my somewhere. It has 20 fields, and
about 100 records. Is it possible for me to Query that DBF file, so I can
search that database for a record and Display the row using PHP?

Basically what I want to do is pull out a record from that DBF file that
matches the ³Phone Number² entered by the user... And show that record on my
PHP page. 

What I¹m doing is importing all the DBF records in my mySQL database, and
then doing the search on that mySQL database and displaying records. I want
to eliminate the mySQL database and query the DBF file directly and display
records from it. 

There¹s very little that I find anywhere on the internet pertaining to the
dbase functions in php. I¹m easily able to open a DBF file, read all the
data and import it into mySQL using some functions I¹ve written. I just
don¹t know if I can search the Database or match a record and display it
without importing it into mySQL.

Any suggestions?
