List databases are supported fully. You have to use the SetRecordRaw and GetRecordRaw functions currently, but that can change in the future to use a tailored function instead.

Including into your program

include 'php-pdb.inc';
include 'modules/list.inc';

Creating a new database

Because List databases already have a specific type and creator, you only need to specify the name of the new database.

$DB = new PalmListDB("Name of DB");

Writing the database

This is the same as the base class. See Basic Use for more information.

Loading the database

This is the same as the base class. See Basic Use for more information.

Category Support and Record Attributes

List supports categories. This is the same as the base class. See Basic Use for more information.

Other functions

There are no utility functions defined yet. Sorry.

Record Format

All records in a List database are arrays. The first two elements can be a maximum of 63 characters. The third (and last) element is a note field and can be up to 1023 characters.

Example

include_once ("php-pdb.inc");
include_once ("modules/list.inc");

$pdb = new PalmListDB("New Database");

// Name the two fields
$pdb->Field1 = "Name"
$pdb->Field2 = "Job"

// Add a few people
$pdb->SetRecordRaw(array("Tyler Akins", "IT", "A really great guy."));
$pdb->GoToRecord("+1");
$pdb->SetRecordRaw(array("Madonna", "Singer"));
$pdb->GoToRecord("+1");
$pdb->SetRecordRaw(array("Adam Sandler", "Entertainer",
"Did a few movies, sang a few songs, got mentioned here."));

// Write to a file
$fp = fopen("$ouput_file", "wb");
$pdb->WriteToFile($fp);
fclose($fp);
