NAME
dbfdump - dump xBase DBF files as text SYNOPSIS
dbfdump [-h] [-m] [-r] file DESCRIPTION
Dumps the contents of file to standard output. The first line contains the field names appearing in file, and each of the following lines contains the field values of a record. Field names and values are padded by spaces to their field widths. Empty fields are printed as the string "(NULL)". OPTIONS
-h Prints the column field definitions before other output. Each field definition consists of a line of the form Field: index, Type=type, Title=`name', Width=width, Decimals=precision where index is the zero offset column number of the field; the type indicates the datatype of the field value and is either "Inte- ger", "Real" or "String"; name is the field's name; width is the number of bytes reserved for the field's value; and precision is the number of decimal places of precision for "Real" type fields, and is zero for "Integer" and "String" type fields. -m Prints each record in multiline format separated by empty lines. The first line of a record gives the number of the record in the form Records: record_index where record_index is the zero offset number of the record in the file, and then each field of the record appears on its own line in the format name: value -r Prints the exact bytes occurring in file for field values and suppresses printing "(NULL)" for empty values. EXIT STATUS
0 Successful program execution. 1 Missing file argument. 2 Failed to open file. 3 There are no fields in file. DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may be issued on stdout: DBFOpen(file,"r") failed. There are no fields in this table! AUTHORS
Frank Warmerdam (warmerdam@pobox.com) is the maintainer of the shapelib shapefile library. Joonas Pihlaja (jpihlaja@cc.helsinki.fi) wrote this man page. BUGS
Unless the -r option is given, values in numeric fields that overflow the int or double types of the C language are printed as plus or minus a huge number. For integer fields the huge value is HUGE_VALL from <stdlib.h> and for real fields it is HUGE_VALF. SEE ALSO

MYSQL_FIELD_TYPE(3)							 1						       MYSQL_FIELD_TYPE(3)

mysql_field_type - Get the type of the specified field in a result

SYNOPSIS
Warning This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include: omysqli_fetch_field_direct(3) [type] o PDOStatement::getColumnMeta [driver:decl_type] or [pdo_type] string mysql_field_type (resource $result, int $field_offset) DESCRIPTION
mysql_field_type(3) is similar to the mysql_field_name(3) function. The arguments are identical, but the field type is returned instead. o $ result -The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mysql_query(3). o $ field_offset -The numerical field offset. The $field_offset starts at 0. If $field_offset does not exist, an error of level E_WARNING is also issued. The returned field type will be one of "int", "real", "string", "blob", and others as detailed in the MySQL documentation. Example #1 mysql_field_type(3) example <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_username", "mysql_password"); mysql_select_db("mysql"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM func"); $fields = mysql_num_fields($result); $rows = mysql_num_rows($result); $table = mysql_field_table($result, 0); echo "Your '" . $table . "' table has " . $fields . " fields and " . $rows . " record(s) "; echo "The table has the following fields: "; for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++) { $type = mysql_field_type($result, $i); $name = mysql_field_name($result, $i); $len = mysql_field_len($result, $i); $flags = mysql_field_flags($result, $i); echo $type . " " . $name . " " . $len . " " . $flags . " "; } mysql_free_result($result); mysql_close(); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Your 'func' table has 4 fields and 1 record(s) The table has the following fields: string name 64 not_null primary_key binary int ret 1 not_null string dl 128 not_null string type 9 not_null enum Note For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_fieldtype(3) mysql_field_name(3), mysql_field_len(3).
