XVIII. dBase functions

Introduction

   These functions allow you to access records stored in dBase-format
   (dbf) databases.

   There is no support for indexes or memo fields. There is no support
   for locking, too. Two concurrent webserver processes modifying the
   same dBase file will very likely ruin your database.

   dBase files are simple sequential files of fixed length records.
   Records are appended to the end of the file and delete records are
   kept until you call dbase_pack().

   We recommend that you do not use dBase files as your production
   database. Choose any real SQL server instead; MySQL or Postgres are
   common choices with PHP. dBase support is here to allow you to import
   and export data to and from your web database, because the file format
   is commonly understood by Windows spreadsheets and organizers.

Installation

   In order to enable the bundled dbase library and to use these
   functions, you must compile PHP with the --enable-dbase option.
