note 105427 deleted from book.dbase by danbrown

Note Submitter: hrmohseni[at]gmail.com ---- 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
