dbase_open — Opens a database

Description

dbase_open ( string $filename , int $mode ) : resource

dbase_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_RDONLY and DBASE_RDWR, respectively, to specify the mode.
