The name of the column - type
The human-readable name for the dbase type of the column (i.e. date, boolean, etc) - length
The number of bytes this column can hold - precision
The number of digits of decimal precision for the column - format
A suggested printf() format specifier for the column - offset
The byte offset of the column from the start of the row
Example 1. Showing header information for a dBase database file <?php
// Path to dbase file
$db_path = "/tmp/test.dbf";
// Open dbase file
$dbh = dbase_open($db_path)
or die("Error! Could not open dbase database file '$db_path'.");
// Get column information
$column_info = dbase_get_header_info($dbh);
// Display information
print_r($column_info);
