(PHP 5 < 5.3.0, dbase 5, dbase 7)
dbase_open — Opens a database
pathThe path of the database. It can be a relative or absolute path to the file where dBase will store your data.
modeAn integer which correspond to those for the open() system call (Typically 0 means read-only, 1 means write-only, and 2 means read and write).
注意:
You can't open a dBase file in write-only mode as the function will fail to read the headers information and thus you can't use 1 as
mode.
As of dbase 7.0.0 you can use DBASE_RDONLY
and DBASE_RDWR, respectively, to specify the
mode.
Returns a database resource on success, 或者在失败时返回 false.
示例 #1 Opening a dBase database file
<?php
// open in read-only mode
$db = dbase_open('/tmp/test.dbf', 0);
if ($db) {
// read some data ..
dbase_close($db);
}
?>If you are wanting to open Foxpro tables using this, make sure they are in the 2.x format or php will not respond. In VFP use the following:
COPY TO tablename.dbf TYPE FOX2X
This is an easy way to bring database info to the web if you have a small foxpro setup.
