Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-06 13:55:05] rodrigo at fabricadeideias dot com Description: ------------ When trying to open a DBase 3 dbf file I get the following error: Unable to get header Warning: dbase_open(): unable to open database 12MU2500G.dbf in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/shape/dbase_open_bug.php on line 4 I believe this is a DBase 3 file as file returns: # file 12MU2500G.dbf 12MU2500G.dbf: DBase 3 data file (22 records) I also believe this file isn't corrupted as both DBD::XBase module for Perl and OpenOffice Base read the file without problems. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $db = dbase_open('12MU2500G.dbf', 0); echo $db ? "Opened.\n" : "Not opened.\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Opened. Actual result: -------------- Unable to get header Warning: dbase_open(): unable to open database 12MU2500G.dbf in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/shape/dbase_open_bug.php on line 2 Not opened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38357&edit=1
