note 105427 added to book.dbase

thanks for Eric for his function. I had problem with dbf deleted records that included in his function output. I read the dbf structure and found that his function skip the first char that indicate it is deleted record on following line: fseek($fdbf, $header['FirstRecord']+1); // move back to the start of the first record (after the field definitions) you just need to delete +1 on fseek() to read first character. if you do not want to include deleted record in your output you can simply add these lines: /**Original Eric Code**/ for ($i=1; $i<=$header['RecordCount']; $i++) { $buf = fread($fdbf,$header['RecordLength']); /**My checking**/ if (substr($buf,0,1)=="*"){ continue; } ... wish you good luck Hamid ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 202.169.29.43 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dbase.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105427 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105427/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105427/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105427/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105427/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105427/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105427/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105427 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105427 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
