How to Write to dbase memo fields?

[ehdesign]

I have a php script that is writing to a dbase 3 file. However, from what I understand, php ignores memo fields.

So, how do I write to memo fields using php?

Any help?

The string I am writing could be pretty long and standard Character/string fields are limited to 255 characters - so I can't really change the type.

Anyone have any help?
