Reading Foxpro files (.DBF) from PHP/Linux

Is it possible t开发者_运维技巧o read locally available Foxpro files (.DBF) from a PHP script hosted on a Linux server?

Please suggest anything that doesn't depend on Windows or Java.

php has an extension for reading dbf files: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dbase.php

Various utilities are available for dumping DBF data to CSV and similar formats, E.g.: http://linux.die.net/man/1/dbfdump .

Or you can invoke Open Office base (in headless mode) to convert data to CSV.
