What errors are you getting? Check file permissions, maybe you can't
read/write the file.

I get warning:
Warning: dbase_open() [function.dbase-open]: unable to open database
c:\temp\test.dbf in /usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs/dbase.php on
line 8

In php.ini I have safe_mode=off. Even if I wont simple change a directory
by:
echo getcwd() . "\n";
chdir('c:\\temp');
echo getcwd() . "\n";

I get this warning:
/usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in
/usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs/dbase.php on line 5

/usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs

And how you see the directory does't change :(((((((((

Some propositin?

THANKS ALL :)

echo getcwd() . "\n";
chdir('c:\\Przewozy\\BAZY');
echo getcwd() . "\n";

$db = dbase_open("c:\\Przewozy\\BAZY\\Ceny.dbf", 0);

Just a quick guess/suggestion:
Single tick quotes ' are taken literally and double tick quotes " allow
expansion.
$aVariable = 0;
echo '$aVariable';//$aVariable
echo "$aVariable";//0
Maybe change the chdir to use double quotes or remove the double backslash?
Especially if your dbase_open works with double quotes and the double
backslash.

You seem horribly

. Why are you using Windows-style paths
("c:\\..") on something that looks to be a un*x server ("/usr/local...")

Thanks, but it did't help :(. I still get the some error.
I thing it is something with php configuration ?

Some other suggestion?

Becouse I wont read files, exactly *.dbf, from local machine, not from
server. I have no problem with read or changing directory, if database is
located on server.

Thanks for any suggestion.

So you are running PHP on your local machine "localhost" which happens to be
a Windows machine, and also was compiled with the --enable-dbase option?

Are you only dealing with 1 machine and it is not a UNIX flavor?

If you had a web page served from a UNIX box with an html file field (like
Upload this file) that you view from a browser on a Windows box, which
browses the local machine, the different file path styles could make sense.
Or if dbase_open could connect to a remote server like fopen.

If you are trying to use dbase_open on your local machine to connect to a
remote machine's test.dbf, it looks like this function does not work across
servers. Maybe use fopen and friends to get the remote file?

Or if you can map the drive, then you should be able to use a path like
above using the mapped drive or \\server\volume\path\test.dbf

Can you call up the file in Windows Explorer?
