Package php5-dbase: Information

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

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

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().
