dBase Functions

Bevezetés

These functions allow you to access records stored in dBase-format (dbf) databases.

dBase files are simple sequential files of fixed length records. Records are appended to the end of the file and delete records are kept until you call dbase_pack().

The types of dBase fields available are:

Available types of fields
Field dBase Type Format Additional information
M Memo n/a This type is not supported by PHP, such field will be ignored
D Date YYYYMMDD The field length is limited to 8
N Number A number You must declare a length and a precision (the number of digits after the decimal point)
C String A string You must declare a length. When retrieving data, the string will be right-padded with spaces to fit the declared length.
L Boolean T or Y for TRUE, F or N for FALSE Stored and returned as an integer (1 or 0)
F Float A float number Support for this type of field was added in PHP 5.2.0

Warning

There is no support for indexes or memo fields. There is no support for locking, too. Two concurrent web server processes modifying the same dBase file will very likely ruin your database.

We recommend that you do not use dBase files as your production database. Choose any real SQL server instead; » MySQL or » Postgres are common choices with PHP. dBase support is here to allow you to import and export data to and from your web database, because the file format is commonly understood by Windows spreadsheets and organizers.

Telepítés

In order to enable the bundled dbase library and to use these functions, you must compile PHP with the --enable-dbase option.

For all those of you who wants to DBF->SQL, here's half of a hour worth of work.
It's pretty simple, outputs a CREATE TABLE and lots of INSERTs.
The output is HTML, as I use w$ndows here at work and prefer to just see results in opera.
You SHOULD verify the created data, add some CREATE KEYs, NOT NULLs or whatever you like.

<?php
$file_name
= "mfiscal/dados22/APISS110.D00";
$table = "dbf_apiss";

$dbf = @dbase_open($file_name, 0) or die("Error opening $file_name");
$fields = dbase_get_header_info($dbf);

/* Just show a table with header information */
echo "<table cellspacing=0><tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th>
<th>Length</th><th>Precision</th><th>Format</th><th>Offset</th></tr>"
;
foreach(
$fields as $field)
{
    echo
"<tr>
        <td>{$field['name']}</td>
        <td>{$field['type']}</td>
        <td>{$field['length']}</td>
        <td>{$field['precision']}</td>
        <td>{$field['format']}</td>
        <td>{$field['offset']}</td>
        </tr>"
;
}
echo
"</table><br><br>";

/* Here begins the SQL code part */
echo "CREATE TABLE $table (<BR>";
$x = 0;
$fields_num = 0;
foreach(
$fields as $field)
{
    if(
$x++ != 0)
        echo
",<BR>";
    switch(
$field['type'])
    {
        case
'character' : $type = 'CHAR'; $length = $field['length'] > 1 ? "({$field['length']})" : ""; break;
        case
'number' : $type = 'NUMERIC'; $length = "({$field['length']}" . ($field['precision'] > 0 ? ", {$field['precision']})": ")");
        break;
//        case '' : $type = ''; break;
   
}
   
$fields_num++;
    echo
"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{$field['name']} $type$length";
}
echo
");<BR><BR>BEGIN;<BR>";
$records = @dbase_numrecords($dbf) or die("Error reading DBF's number of fields");
for(
$x = 1; $x <= $records; $x++)
{
   
$record = dbase_get_record($dbf, $x);
    echo
"INSERT INTO $table VALUES (";
   
$f = 0;
    foreach(
$record as $field)
    {
        if(
$f != 0) echo ", ";
        if(
strcmp(str_repeat(' ', $fields[$f]['length']), $field) != 0)
        {
            if(
$fields[$f]['type'] == 'character') echo "'";
            echo
$field;
            if(
$fields[$f]['type'] == 'character') echo "'";
        }
        else
            echo
"NULL";
        if(++
$f >= $fields_num) break;
    }
    echo
");<BR>";
}
echo
"COMMIT;";

I know lots of you dosent really use dbase, but i've builded a class to help the one how dose.
(sorry for bad english)

If you are using PHP < 5, you can use this function to retrieve dbf header

<?
function get_dbf_header($dbfname) {
  
$fdbf = fopen($dbfname,'r');

  
$dbfhdrarr = array();
  
$buff32 = array();
  
$i = 1;
  
$goon = true;

   while (
$goon) {
      if (!
feof($fdbf)) {
        
$buff32 = fread($fdbf,32);
         if (
$i > 1) {
            if (
substr($buff32,0,1) == chr(13)) {
              
$goon = false;
            } else {
              
$pos = strpos(substr($buff32,0,10),chr(0));
              
$pos = ($pos == 0?10:$pos);

              
$fieldname = substr($buff32,0,$pos);
              
$fieldtype = substr($buff32,11,1);
              
$fieldlen = ord(substr($buff32,16,1));
              
$fielddec = ord(substr($buff32,17,1));

array_push($dbfhdrarr, array($fieldname,$fieldtype,$fieldlen,$fielddec));

            }
         }
        
$i++;
      } else {
        
$goon = false;
      }
   }

  
fclose($fdbf);
   return(
$dbfhdrarr);
}

$arr = get_dbf_header('/data/file.dbf');
print_r($arr);
?>
