New Comment:
Function dbase_get_header_info() has been added to the dbase
extension.
The function accepts a dbase connection handle as its sole argument
and returns an array of associative arrays.
The arrays are of the form:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => date
[type] => date
[length] => 8
[decimal places] => 0
[printf format] => %8s
[record offset] => 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => name
[type] => character
[length] => 50
[decimal places] => 0
[printf format] => %-50s
[record offset] => 9
)
...
The feature has been added to the CVS repository and will hopefully
be included in the next major release of PHP after 4.3.

I wrote a bit of sample code that may do what you want.
Visit http://www.php-er.com/html/rn45re878.html - the
first example for unpack() shows how to use unpack() to
read the format of a dbf file.
I will take a look at adding the functionality to PHP* in
a few weeks.
* As long as no one has a good reason for me not too. :)

Hello,
I would like to request feature for PHP dBase support functions.
It will be helpfull, if will be possible to read dBase file header
information,
not only number of fields and its names. For dBase importing is also
important data type, length and precision (if applicable).
If you thing, that I can help you with this request, send me mail.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Tomas Polak
