Parameters

dbase_identifier

The database link identifier, returned by dbase_open() or dbase_create().

record

Examples

Example #1 Updating a record in the database

<?php

// open in read-write mode
$db = dbase_open('/tmp/test.dbf', 2);

if ($db) {
  // gets the old row
  $row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, 1);
  
  // remove the 'deleted' entry
  unset($row['deleted']);
  
  // Update the date field with the current timestamp
  $row['date'] = date('Ymd');
  
  // convert the row to an indexed array
  $row = array_values($row);

  // Replace the record
  dbase_replace_record($db, $row, 1);
  dbase_close($db);
}

?>

Notes

Note:

Boolean fields result in an integer element value (0 or 1) when retrieved via dbase_get_record() or dbase_get_record_with_names(). If they are written back, this results in the value becoming 0, so care has to be taken to properly adjust the values.
