PX_SET_TARGETENCODING(3)PX_SET_TARGETENCODING(3)px_set_targetencoding - Sets the encoding for character fields (deprecated)SYNOPSIS
bool px_set_targetencoding (resource $pxdoc, string $encoding)
DESCRIPTION
Set the encoding for data retrieved from a character field. All character fields will be recoded to the encoding set by this function. If
the encoding is not set, the character data will be returned in the DOS code page encoding as specified in the database file. The $encoding
can be any string identifier known to iconv or recode. On Unix systems run iconv -l for a list of available encodings.
This function is deprecated and should be replaced by calling px_set_parameter(3).
See also px_get_info(3) to determine the DOS code page as stored in the database file.
PARAMETERS
o $pxdoc
- Resource identifier of the paradox database as returned by px_new(3).
o $encoding
- The encoding for the output. Data which is being read from character fields is recoded into the targetencoding.
RETURN VALUES
Returns FALSE if the encoding could not be set, e.g. the encoding is unknown, or pxlib does not support recoding at all. In the second
case a warning will be issued.

PX_GET_INFO(3)PX_GET_INFO(3)px_get_info - Return lots of information about a paradox fileSYNOPSIS
array px_get_info (resource $pxdoc)
DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS
o $pxdoc
- Resource identifier of the paradox database as returned by px_new(3).
RETURN VALUES
Returns an associated array with lots of information about a paradox file. This array is likely to be extended in the future.
o fileversion
-Version of file multiplied by 10, e.g. 70.
o tablename
-Name of table as stored in the file. If the database was created by pxlib, then this will be the name of the file without the
extension.
o numrecords
-Number of records in this table.
o numfields
-Number of fields in this table.
o headersize
-Number of bytes used for the header. This is usually 0x800.
o recordsize
-Number of bytes used for each record. This is the sum of all field sizes (available since version 1.4.2).
o maxtablesize
- This value multiplied by 0x400 is the size of a data block in bytes. The maximum number of records in a datablock is the integer
part of (maxtablesize * 0x400 - 8) / recordsize.
o numdatablocks
- The number of data blocks in the file. Each data block contains a certain number of records which depends on the record size and
the data block size (maxtablesize). Data blocks may not necessarily be completely filled.
o numindexfields
- Number of fields used for the primary index. The fields do always start with field number 1.
o codepage
- The DOS codepage which was used for encoding fields with character data. If the target encoding is not set with px_set_targeten-
coding(3) this will be the encoding for character fields when records are being accessed with px_get_record(3) or
px_retrieve_record(3).

Hello,
After upgrading the OS from Fedora4 to Fedora6, the firefox
view>character encoding doesn't work anymore. None of the foreign
characters can be displayed, no matter what character encoding to
select.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I have a file that has been partially recoded so that data points that were formerly letter combinations are now -1, 0, or 1. I need to finish recoding the GG and CC data points. The file looks like this:
