PHP-PDB is a set of PHP classes that
manipulate Palm OS databases. It lets
you read, write, alter, and easily use data that is meant to be sent to or
retrieved from a handheld. It requires PHP 4.0.1 or later, but due to
security problems with PHP 4, I'd suggest you have version 4.1.2 or patch your
current version..
Directly supported databases
These types of databases have had separate classes written to extend the
base class and make life easier for the developer. PHP-PDB can be used with
your own custom database type as well.
Address Book - Reading and
writing fully supported.
MobileDB - Can read and write
databases. No utility functions yet, so this class is difficult to use.
SmallBASIC - Can read and
write databases. Easily convert from/to this format.
Features

types of databases.

Easily be able to pipe a Palm OS database to the browser or out to a

Category support, but it is currently somewhat limited.
Limited appinfo and sortinfo support exists.
