I may be wrong, but I can't believe that dbase is exactly popular amongst php 
users. Its lack of popularity could explain the lack of response.

I can't believe this, my problem doesn't attract any attention.
But I am quite sure that everybody else besides me has more experience
than me in this specific field.
Anyone pl, is my question absurd or just impossible.

Importance: High

Hi All,

I am quite new to php. I have a requirement to query dbase file to
implement searching on table columns. Now I am following a basic
approach using dbase_get_record_with_names($fileHandler,
$iterationIndex). This seems to be a rudimentary approach and has
performance bottleneck. For the purpose of   paging this is a big
stopper. 
I request php guys to show me how to use Connection to fire a query. I
am afraid I can't use system dsn since the underline dbase file could be
dynamic. Pl. suggest me how to use direct connection through url or file
dsn. This is in context to web apps development. 

Regards,
Swapan
