dbase_numfieldsDescriptiondbase_numfields() returns the number of fields (columns) in a dbf file. Field numbers start at 0 and continue to one less than the number of fields in the dbf file. In other words, valid field numbers for a dbf file with four fields will range from 0to 3. If the dbf_identifier argument doesn't refer to an open dbf file, FALSE is returned. ExampleExample 228. Find the number of fields in a dbf file # path to dbm file $db_file = '/tmp/sushi_eaten.dbf'; # open dbase file for read-only $id = dbase_open ($db_file, '0') or die ("Could not open dbf file <i>$db_file</i>."); echo "There are ", dbase_numfields ($id) , " fields in dbf file <i>$db_file</i>."; dbase_close ($id);
