#34911 [Opn->Bgs]: php_dbase.dll : dbase_replace_record : tricks to work

ID: 34911 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: allan dot s dot oliveira at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: dBase related Operating System: Windows NT WXP 5.1 build 2600 PHP Version: 5.0.5 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php dbase_get_record*() funcs return a row and add "deleted" field to indicate if this row were marked for deletion or not. You can see a note about it in dbase_replace_record() reference: "Note: If you're using dbase_get_record() return value for this parameter, remember to reset the key named deleted." Also, dbase_replace/add_record() work only with indexed arrays and this is documented too.

Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $dbname = "./tmp/test.dbf"; // dbf name $def = array( array("date", "D"), array("name", "C", 50), array("age", "N", 3, 0), array("email", "C", 128), array("ismember", "L") ); // structure dbase_create($dbname, $def) // creating $db=dbase_open($dbname,2) // open to insert $reg=array("20030912","My Name","33","example@example.com",False); // define record dbase_add_record($db,$reg) // insert record dbase_close($db); // close $db=dbase_open($dbname,2) // open to replace $row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, 1); // gets actual row $row['email'] = "newmail@newmail.com"; // Update the date field with the current timestamp dbase_replace_record($db,$row,1); // replace // above instruction causes an error : incorrect number of arguments $reg = array( $row['date'] , $row['name'] , $row['age'] , $row['email'] , $row['ismember'] ); // redefine record without 'deleted' column dbase_replace_record($db,$reg,1); // Replace the record : OK // This Replace goes OK dbase_close($db); echo "Done"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- this should work properly, without any tricks : $row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, 1) $row['email'] = "newmail@newmail.com"; dbase_replace_record($db,$row,1); Actual result: -------------- I recently start to work with some dbase files, and following the examples, this error should not appear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34911&edit=1
