Some php classes for easy work with dBase databases

usage
=====

[](#usage)

First, require dBase class

```
require 'dBase.php';
```

Next, create or open dbf file.

```
$filename = 'example.dbf';
$mode = dBase::MODE_READ_WRITE;

$dBase = dBase::open($filename, $mode);
//$dBase = dBase::create($filename, $mode);
```

For read rows use Iterator interface

```
foreach ($dBase as $record) {
    print_r($record);
}
```

For write record use array index operation

```
// append new record
$dBase[] = [
    // column values
];

// modify exists record by index
$dBase[32] = [
    // new column values
];
```

For delete use unset operation

```
// delete record by index
unset($dBase[0]);
```

Good luck!
