I found a class of php functions [pxlib] that write paradox files [and i figured it should work to read the info out of the database and "write" a paradox DB file]. But i can`t understand a thing out of the instalation notes
"You will need 'pecl' and 'phpize'. Make sure the php-pear (for pecl) and php-devel (for phpize) packages are installed.
Download pxlib package from pxlib.sourceforge.net. expand/config/make/make install. No tricks there.
pecl install paradox
Edit php.ini or, preferably, create /etc/php.d/paradox.ini to contain:
extension=paradox.so
'php --info | grep paradox' to verify the configuration is read properly and there are no errors. You should see something like...
/etc/php.d/paradox.ini,
paradox
service httpd restart"
The database is on a host. And i can`t figure out how to install pxlib ...

You might be better off in the PHP forum, but....
What platform are you on (looks *nix)
You could use the ODBC extnetion (never used on *nix)
or use the Paradox extnetion You'll need to identify data types to map between (which can be fiddly). Then query mysql for the data you want, then in a loop map your data and insert it into the paradox table.
Might be easier than messing about (you'll need to get it working once it's installed).
