(PHP3 , PHP4 ) dbase_create -- Creates a dBase database Descriptionint dbase_create (string filename, array fields)
The fields parameter is an array of
arrays, each array describing the format of one field in the
database. Each field consists of a name, a character indicating
the field type, a length, and a precision.
The types of fields available are:
- L
Boolean. These do not have a length or precision.
- M
Memo. (Note that these aren't supported by PHP.) These do
not have a length or precision.
- D
Date (stored as YYYYMMDD). These do not have a length or
precision.
- N
Number. These have both a length and a precision (the number
of digits after the decimal point).
- C
String.
If the database is successfully created, a dbase_identifier is
returned, otherwise false is returned.
Example 1. Creating a dBase database file
// "database" name
$dbname = "/tmp/test.dbf";
// database "definition"
$def =
array(
array("date", "D"),
array("name", "C", 50),
array("age", "N", 3, 0),
array("email", "C", 128),
array("ismember", "L")
);
// creation
if (!dbase_create($dbname, $def))
print "<strong>Error!</strong>";
