dbase_open — Opens a database
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.
The name of the database. It can be a relative or absolute path to the file where dBase will store your data.
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 .
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);}?>
Returns a database link identifier if the database is successfully opened, or FALSE if an error occurred.
