dbase_open    (PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5) dbase_open -- Opens a database Descriptionint  dbase_open ( string filename, int mode ) 
   dbase_open() opens a dBase database with the given
   access mode.
   Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether 
the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the 
script that is being executed. 
 Parameters
    - filename
 
       The name of the database. It can be a relative or absolute path to
       the file where dBase will store your data.
       - mode
 
       An integer which correspond to those for the open() 
       system call (Typically 0 means read-only, 1 means write-only, and 2 
       means read and write).
       Note: 
        You can't open a dBase file in write-only mode as the function will
        fail to read the headers information and thus you can't use 1 as
        mode.
        
 
  
  Examples
    Example 1. Opening a dBase database file <?php
// open in read-only mode
$db = dbase_open('/tmp/test.dbf', 0);
if ($db) {
  // read some data ..
  
  dbase_close($db);
}
?> |

  Return Values
   Returns a database link identifier if the database is successfully opened,
   or FALSE if an error occurred.
