Hi,

I am using a program that is using Visual FoxPro as the database in the
back ground. I am tring to connect to it via a Perl and PHP script but
am not having any luck. I have looked on the internet for information
but have not found any. Can someone point me to a reference or give me
an example on how to use a Perl and/or PHP script to connect to a FoxPRo
database? I have run across the DBI:Xbase Perl module but have not had
any luck getting it to work. I have connected to MySQL data bases fine
so I am at a loss.

Thank you in advance.
