PHP Bug Type: dBase related
Bug description: Dbase Version Check added in 4.3.3 detecting bad version when using
memo fields
Description:
------------
As seen in Version 4.3.3 Changelog:
Fixed bug 23463 (added Dbase2 version check). (Vlad Krupin)
We are reading from many dbase files, all version 3, and one of them has a
memo field. Prior to version 4.3.2, all of these tables were readable,
but with the addition of the version check on 4.3.3, I now recieve the
following error when opening the v3 file with memo fields:
-----------snip-----------
Warning: This file appears to be dbase ver. -117. Only version 3 and above
is supported. in D:\inetpub\onlineroot\bin\inc_lib_online.php on line 862
Warning: unable to open database D:\inetpub\FPDBF\evaluate.dbf in
D:\inetpub\onlineroot\bin\inc_lib_online.php on line 862
Cannot open Unable to get header
-----------snip-----------
In versions from 4.1.1 - 4.3.2 these database files worked flawlessly.
The memo fields are not important to me, since I am merely checking other
fields in the database, but the ability to open and read the other fields
has always been there. This functionality has now been broken with 4.3.3
I would be glad to send an empty database with these properties to help
reproduce the problem.

Reproduce code:
---------------
if ( !$fp = dbase_open("D:\\inetpub\\FPDBF\\evaluate.dbf",0) ) {
echo "Cannot open database\n";
exit;
}
Expected result:
----------------
<no warning messages, has a usable file handle ($fp)>
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: This file appears to be dbase ver. -117. Only version 3 and above
is supported. in D:\inetpub\onlineroot\testing\bug_rep.php on line 1
Warning: unable to open database D:\inetpub\FPDBF\evaluate.dbf in
D:\inetpub\onlineroot\testing\bug_rep.php on line 1
Cannot open Unable to get header
<please note the db file handle is not usable at this point ($fp)>
