[Pxlib-devel] Missing some fields in records

[Matthew I. <mi...@pn...>]

Hi,

I recently installed the latest version of pxlib and the paradox PHP
module which uses it. First, I'd like to say how nice it is to have a
paradox reader which transparently ignores that Paradox "encryption." I
tried all manner of Windows utilities and I just couldn't get it to work
right from a command line. Nice work.

Anyway,  I have a PHP script which I will use to dump many megabytes of
decrypted Paradox data into MySQL. Everything seems to work fine. I can
read the schemas. I can get records, but for some reason I don't get all
the fields from the records. In one table with 52 fields, the records
only  have 43 fields. That is, I get an array with only 43 elements.
Most of the missing fields are of the PX_FIELD_DATE type. I do, however,
get MEMOBLOBs. I thought that would be the tricky part.

I'm not sure if this is a PHP thing or something do with wth the
underlying library. Is there any reason why the records would be short
like this? 

Also, are there other libraries/tools based on  pxlib? I'd really rather
not use PHP-cli for this.  I may just take it upon myself to write a
Ruby implementation just for fun.
