What are the common pitfalls when working with Paradox tables in PHP, and how can they be avoided?

Common pitfalls when working with Paradox tables in PHP include compatibility issues, limited support for Paradox file formats, and potential data corruption. To avoid these pitfalls, it is recommended to use a reliable PHP library that provides seamless integration with Paradox tables and handles file format conversions effectively.

// Example of using the XBase library to work with Paradox tables in PHP

require_once('XBase/Table.php');

// Specify the path to the Paradox table file
$table = new XBase\Table('/path/to/your/table.dbf');

// Loop through records in the table
while ($record = $table->nextRecord()) {
    // Access fields in the record
    echo $record->getString('fieldName') . "\n";
}

// Close the table after use
$table->close();
