PHP version: 5.2.4
PHP Bug Type: dBase related
Bug description: empty fields get zeroed
Description:
------------
The dBase-extension, which is bundled with PHP, fills empty dBase-fields
with a zero.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$db = @dbase_open('test.dbf', READ_ONLY);
print "<pre>\n";
for ($i = 1; $i <= dbase_numrecords($db); $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record($db, $i);
printf("%7d: %s\n", $i, join('|', $row));
}
print "</pre>\n";
dbase_close($db);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Access, Office 2003 and various dBase-readers can read those fields and
leave them empty.
Right now, you can't differ "real" zero entries from empty entries :-(
Actual result:
--------------
Fields, which are empty (not marked as deleted) are filled with zeros.
