From the Btrieve API perspective, there is no record structure. It is defined by the application.
In order to get the table structure, you need to contact DacEasy.

Hi, very new here - we are developing an internal website for a user of Dac Easy (v.15). To communicate with Dac Easy I know that I need to buy the SDK which contains the DDFs. What I want to be clear on is that I can not only Get information from Dac Easy to display on a web page but also pass information captured by a php form to update or create a record in Dac Easy.

Thanks for any help
jim

I can't speak for DacEasy itself but from a Pervasive perspective, using ODBC through PHP can read and write to a PSQL database.
If you get the DDFs from DacEasy and can update the records through something like PCC (or ODBCTest), then you should be able to do the same through PHP.

Wow thanks for the quick answer mirtheil!! I am not the actuall DB/programmer here and I am just doing the research for this project so please excuse my ignorance. It looks like what we will need is the

SDK for DacEasy - $500
A license for DacEasy (from our client) to test with
PCC or ODBCTest - $cost?

Anything else we would need that you could recommend?

I see that you are a Certified Pervasive Developer - if there is a piece of middleware that you have/can develop to make this easier and quicker for us I would be happy to hear about your solutions.

Thanks again
jim

PCC is the Pervasive Control Center and is included with the main PSQL client or engine (workgroup or server) install. I don't know if DacEasy installs it or not.
ODBC Test is a Microsoft tool that is used to test ODBC calls. A quick Google search found it for download at ODBC Tester and ODBCtest.
As far as custom development, I do not have any middleware specific for your needs available. If you'd like to discuss options, please contact me off forum through my website (http://www.mirtheil.com).
