px_new - Create a new paradox object

SYNOPSIS

       resource px_new (void  )

DESCRIPTION

	Create	a  new paradox object. You will have to call this function before any further functions. px_new(3) does not create any file on the
       disk, it just creates an instance of a paradox object. This function must not be called if the object oriented interface is used.  Use  new
       paradox_db() instead.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Opening a Paradox database

	      <?php
	      if(!$pxdoc = px_new()) {
		/* Error handling */
	      }
	      $fp = fopen("test.db", "r");
	      if(!px_open_fp($pxdoc, $fp)) {
		/* Error handling */
	      }
	      // ...
	      px_close($pxdoc);
	      px_delete($pxdoc);
	      fclose($fp);
	      ?>

	If you prefer the object oriented API, then the above example will look like the following.

       Example #2

	      Opening a Paradox database

	      <?php
	      $fp = fopen("test.db", "r");
	      $pxdoc = new paradox_db();
	      if(!$pxdoc->open_fp($fp)) {
		/* Error handling */
	      }
	      // ...
	      $pxdoc->close();
	      fclose($fp);
	      ?>

px_get_record - Returns record of paradox database

SYNOPSIS

       array px_get_record (resource  $pxdoc, int  $num, [int  $mode])

DESCRIPTION

PARAMETERS

	      o $pxdoc
		- Resource identifier of the paradox database as returned by px_new(3).

	      o $num
		- The record number is an artificial number counting records in the order as they are stored in the database. The first record has
		number 0.

	      o $mode
		- The optional $mode can be PX_KEYTOLOWER or PX_KEYTOUPPER in order to convert the keys of the returned array into lower or  upper
		case.  If $mode is not passed or is 0, then the key will be exactly like the field name. The element values will contain the field
		values. NULL values will be retained and are different from 0.0, 0 or the empty string.  Fields  of  type  PX_FIELD_TIME  will	be
		returned  as  an  integer  counting  the number of milliseconds starting at midnight. A timestamp ( PX_FIELD_TIMESTAMP) and date (
		PX_FIELD_DATE) are floating point respectively int values counting milliseconds respectively days starting  at	the  beginning	of
		julian calendar. Use the functions px-timestamp2string(3) and px-date2string(3) to convert them into a character representation.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the $num'th record from the paradox database. The record is returned as an associated array with its keys being the field names.
