done < inputfile

SYNOPSIS
array dbase_get_record_with_names (int $dbase_identifier, int $record_number) DESCRIPTION
Gets a record from a dBase database as an associative array. PARAMETERS
o $dbase_identifier - The database link identifier, returned by dbase_open(3) or dbase_create(3). o $record_number - The index of the record. RETURN VALUES
An associative array with the record. This will also include a key named deleted which is set to 1 if the record has been marked for dele- tion (see dbase_delete_record(3)).

Example #1 Listing all the registered members in the database <?php // open in read-only mode $db = dbase_open('/tmp/test.dbf', 0); if ($db) { $record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db); for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++) { $row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i); if ($row['ismember'] == 1) { echo "Member #$i: " . trim($row['name']) . " "; } } } ?> SEE ALSO
