(PHP 4, PHP 5)

dbase_create — Creates a database

Description

int dbase_create ( string $filename , array $fields )

dbase_create() creates a dBase database with the given definition.

Note: När så kallat safe mode är påslaget, kontrollerar PHP om filen/filerna/katalogen du försöker använda har samma UID (ägare) som scriptet som exekveras.

Note: This function is affected by open_basedir.

Parameters

filename

The name of the database. It can be a relative or absolute path to the file where dBase will store your data.

fields

An array of arrays, each array describing the format of one field of the database. Each field consists of a name, a character indicating the field type, and optionally, a length, and a precision.

Note: The fieldnames are limited in length and must not exceed 10 chars.

Return Values

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