some of you contacted me about memo fields and my script, so i'll just post my answers on the common question here.
(note: this is not an adv for any program, only what i used for myself, and it's free)
so, there are 2 options if you want to create/read memo fields:
1. use a library for java/c++/c# to build a bridge between php and dbf file. i've used dbf2java. althougth it's not near complete as my other option, it's a good start. (http://code.google.com/p/dbf2java-library/)
2. use an external program with pipes to grab the output. i used cdbflite, (http://www.whitetown.com/cdbflite/). it's free, and pretty much gives you everything you need to handle those dbf files. i'm not sure about big databases and it seems you need to register/buy it, but it's again, a start.
hope it helps some of you who needs to handle those database files,
Good luck,
idan
Fonctions dBase

Sommaire
- dbase_add_record — Ajoute un enregistrement dans une base de données dBase
- dbase_close — Ferme une base dBase
- dbase_create — Crée une base de données dBase
- dbase_delete_record — Efface un enregistrement dans une base dBase
- dbase_get_header_info — Récupère des informations d'en-tête d'une base de données dBase
- dbase_get_record_with_names — Lit un enregistrement dans une base dBase, sous la forme d'un tableau associatif
- dbase_get_record — Lit un enregistrement dans une base dBase

- dbase_numrecords — Compte le nombre d'enregistrements dans une base dBase

I know lots of you dosent really use dbase, but i've builded a class to help the one how dose.
(sorry for bad english)
- dbase.php

If you are using PHP < 5, you can use this function to retrieve dbf header
<?
function get_dbf_header($dbfname) {
$fdbf = fopen($dbfname,'r');
$dbfhdrarr = array();
$buff32 = array();
$i = 1;
$goon = true;
while ($goon) {
if (!feof($fdbf)) {
$buff32 = fread($fdbf,32);
if ($i > 1) {
if (substr($buff32,0,1) == chr(13)) {
$goon = false;
} else {
$pos = strpos(substr($buff32,0,10),chr(0));
$pos = ($pos == 0?10:$pos);
$fieldname = substr($buff32,0,$pos);
$fieldtype = substr($buff32,11,1);
$fieldlen = ord(substr($buff32,16,1));
$fielddec = ord(substr($buff32,17,1));
array_push($dbfhdrarr, array($fieldname,$fieldtype,$fieldlen,$fielddec));
}
}
$i++;
} else {
$goon = false;
}
}
fclose($fdbf);
return($dbfhdrarr);
}
$arr = get_dbf_header('/data/file.dbf');
print_r($arr);
?>

For all those of you who wants to DBF->SQL, here's half of a hour worth of work.
It's pretty simple, outputs a CREATE TABLE and lots of INSERTs.
The output is HTML, as I use w$ndows here at work and prefer to just see results in opera.
You SHOULD verify the created data, add some CREATE KEYs, NOT NULLs or whatever you like.
<?php
$file_name = "mfiscal/dados22/APISS110.D00";
$table = "dbf_apiss";
$dbf = @dbase_open($file_name, 0) or die("Error opening $file_name");
$fields = dbase_get_header_info($dbf);
/* Just show a table with header information */
echo "<table cellspacing=0><tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th>
<th>Length</th><th>Precision</th><th>Format</th><th>Offset</th></tr>";
foreach($fields as $field)
{
echo "<tr>
<td>{$field['name']}</td>
<td>{$field['type']}</td>
<td>{$field['length']}</td>
<td>{$field['precision']}</td>
<td>{$field['format']}</td>
<td>{$field['offset']}</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table><br><br>";
/* Here begins the SQL code part */
echo "CREATE TABLE $table (<BR>";
$x = 0;
$fields_num = 0;
foreach($fields as $field)
{
if($x++ != 0)
echo ",<BR>";
switch($field['type'])
{
case 'character' : $type = 'CHAR'; $length = $field['length'] > 1 ? "({$field['length']})" : ""; break;
case 'number' : $type = 'NUMERIC'; $length = "({$field['length']}" . ($field['precision'] > 0 ? ", {$field['precision']})": ")");
break;
// case '' : $type = ''; break;
}
$fields_num++;
echo " {$field['name']} $type$length";
}
echo ");<BR><BR>BEGIN;<BR>";
$records = @dbase_numrecords($dbf) or die("Error reading DBF's number of fields");
for($x = 1; $x <= $records; $x++)
{
$record = dbase_get_record($dbf, $x);
echo "INSERT INTO $table VALUES (";
$f = 0;
foreach($record as $field)
{
if($f != 0) echo ", ";
if(strcmp(str_repeat(' ', $fields[$f]['length']), $field) != 0)
{
if($fields[$f]['type'] == 'character') echo "'";
echo $field;
if($fields[$f]['type'] == 'character') echo "'";
}
else
echo "NULL";
if(++$f >= $fields_num) break;
}
echo ");<BR>";
}
echo "COMMIT;";
?>
