Description:
------------
The dBase-extension, which is bundled with PHP, fills empty
dBase-fields with a zero.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$db = @dbase_open('test.dbf', READ_ONLY);

print "<pre>\n";

for ($i = 1; $i <= dbase_numrecords($db); $i++) {
   $row = dbase_get_record($db, $i);
   printf("%7d: %s\n", $i, join('|', $row));
}

print "</pre>\n";

dbase_close($db);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Access, Office 2003 and various dBase-readers can read those fields and
leave them empty.

Right now, you can't differ "real" zero entries from empty entries :-(

Actual result:
--------------
Fields, which are empty (not marked as deleted) are filled with zeros.
