Status: Open
Bug Type: dBase related
Operating System: Win 2003
PHP Version: 4.3.3
New Comment:
Could anyone who has the possibility to compile PHP under Windows
create a php_dbase.dll for 4.3.3 without the Version check and upload
it to anywhere?
It would be absolutely nice ;o)

I'm sure stripping out the code would work for me as well, but since
I'm on Windows I depend on the binaries that are posted. Right now I
have backed up to 4.2.3 so I can still use my tables, but we don't want
to be left in the past as far as versions go!!!

We're experiencing the same problem on Linux 2.4.21.
Our Dbase files are created with the Halcyon component
for Delphi (www.grifsolu.com) and don't have any memo
fields.
The error here is: "Warning: This file appears to be
dbase ver. -125. Only version 3 and above is
supported."
So that's -125 instead of -117.
I stripped out the version checking and everything
works just fine.

Description:
------------
As seen in Version 4.3.3 Changelog:
Fixed bug 23463 (added Dbase2 version check). (Vlad Krupin)
We are reading from many dbase files, all version 3, and one of them
has a memo field. Prior to version 4.3.2, all of these tables were
readable, but with the addition of the version check on 4.3.3, I now
recieve the following error when opening the v3 file with memo fields:
-----------snip-----------
Warning: This file appears to be dbase ver. -117. Only version 3 and
above is supported. in D:\inetpub\onlineroot\bin\inc_lib_online.php on
line 862
Warning: unable to open database D:\inetpub\FPDBF\evaluate.dbf in
D:\inetpub\onlineroot\bin\inc_lib_online.php on line 862
Cannot open Unable to get header
-----------snip-----------
In versions from 4.1.1 - 4.3.2 these database files worked flawlessly.
The memo fields are not important to me, since I am merely checking
other fields in the database, but the ability to open and read the
other fields has always been there. This functionality has now been
broken with 4.3.3
I would be glad to send an empty database with these properties to help
reproduce the problem.

Reproduce code:
---------------
if ( !$fp = dbase_open("D:\\inetpub\\FPDBF\\evaluate.dbf",0) ) {
echo "Cannot open database\n";
exit;
}
Expected result:
----------------
<no warning messages, has a usable file handle ($fp)>
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: This file appears to be dbase ver. -117. Only version 3 and
above is supported. in D:\inetpub\onlineroot\testing\bug_rep.php on
line 1
Warning: unable to open database D:\inetpub\FPDBF\evaluate.dbf in
D:\inetpub\onlineroot\testing\bug_rep.php on line 1
Cannot open Unable to get header
<please note the db file handle is not usable at this point ($fp)>
