Are there any best practices or tips for effectively working with Paradox-DBs in PHP?

To effectively work with Paradox-DBs in PHP, it is recommended to use the PDO (PHP Data Objects) extension. PDO provides a consistent interface for accessing different database systems, including Paradox. By using PDO, you can connect to the Paradox database, execute queries, and fetch results in a secure and efficient manner.

// Connect to Paradox database using PDO
try {
    $pdo = new PDO("odbc:Driver={Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db )};DriverID=538;Fil=Paradox 5.X;DefaultDir=C:/path/to/your/database/directory;");
    echo "Connected to Paradox database successfully";
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
