dbase_open — Opens a database
Description
$filename
, int $mode
) : resourcedbase_open() opens a dBase database with the given access mode.
Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.
Note:
This function is affected by open_basedir.
Parameters
-
filename -
The name of the database. It can be a relative or absolute path to the file where dBase will store your data.
-
mode -
An 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).
Note:
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_RDONLYandDBASE_RDWR, respectively, to specify themode.
Examples
Example #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);
}
?>
Return Values
Returns a database link identifier if the database is successfully opened,
or FALSE if an error occurred.
