ID: 38357 Updated by: mike@php.net Reported By: rodrigo at fabricadeideias dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.1.4 Assigned To: mike New Comment: Implemented in PHP_5_2 and HEAD. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-08 14:58:15] mike@php.net I'll take a look at it. The php-dev list has been closed long time ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-08 13:33:27] rodrigo at fabricadeideias dot com I have a patch available at <http://dev.ipresto.com.br/downloads/dbase-float.patch> that implements floating field support for php's dbase functions. <off-topic> I've tried 3 times to subscribe to <php-dev@lists.php.net> to send this patch without success: there's definitely something wrong with the subscribe process as I never receive the first email the system is supposed to send me during the subscription process. </off-topic> Please consider it for inclusion. The patch is relative to the relased 5.1.4 version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-06 22:02:25] rodrigo at fabricadeideias dot com There are float fields in this dbf file. As per XBase file definition (<http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/data_types.html#DATA_TYPES>) F fields are floating fields represented as up to 20 digits. Here is a complete record of the .dbf file (as per Perl reading): AREA_1: 2984.643 MSLINK: 74 NOME: Porto Acre PERIMETRO_: 270.266 CODIGO: 1200807 AREA_TOT_G: 2984.643 SEDE: 1 LONGITUDES: -67.533 MAPID: 99 LATITUDESE: -9.588 GEOCODIGO: 1200807 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-06 16:01:06] mike@php.net "F" (float?) fields are not supported, so I changed the report to FR. Can you post a record with all values, how it should look like? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-06 14:00:44] rodrigo at fabricadeideias dot com There is a downloadable copy of the dbf file at <http://dev.ipresto.com.br/downloads/12MU2500G.dbf>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
