dbase extension for PHP 5.3.0

I'm searching for a pre-compiled dbase extension for PHP 5.3.0 on
Windows. I have read that the extension has been moved to the PECL
repository for the 5.3.0 release, but I was disappointed to read on the
PECL site that "at this time the PHP project does not compile Windows
binaries for PECL extensions". Someone must have hit this wall before
me...is anyone distributing a dbase extension for PHP 5.3.0 ?

thanks.

the dBase extension has been removed because the extension was no longer maintained actively. If there is a demand for dbase support with PHP 5.3, a PECL package will be created [1].
If you need to switch, please contact the developers on the PECL mailing list [2].

Hi Sacha,

I just built php (with the great instructions at
http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild) and my only
missing extension is dbase...but the PECL instructions for compiling
point back to the same PHP compiling instructions...so my question is
how to compile the PECL dbase extension on Windows. I will ask on the
PECL mailing list.

With the help of Pierre in the #php-dev-win IRC channel (on
freenode.net), I used the 'Quick n dirty' steps listed here
http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild and then here were
the rest of my steps:

**********
Adding PECL extensions (using 'dbase' as an example):

- cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86
- get the dbase extension code through Subversion
- svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/dbase/trunk pecl/dbase
- cd php5.3-xyz
- buildconf
- executing 'configure --help' should now contain a dbase option
- configure --enable-cli --enable-dbase
- nmake
- test the binary with a 'php -m' command, to make sure dbase exists
**********

Hopefully this helps someone else in the future!

Re: dbase extension for PHP 5.3.0

Suddenly I thinking about ODBC.. how about using ODBC to help reading dbase?

jeff:
Is there a limit or something if you using ODBC for your source?

In my case I maintain an installer that contains several old
applications (relying on the dbase functions), so instead of modifying
all that code (that I don't know a thing about) I'll just use the
PECL:dbase extension.
