if  godaddy is recommending that you place values in a .htaccess file they
probly mean you should upload a .htaccess
file via ftp.  im assuming thats how the give you access to the system
(since there is no ssh access).
im a bit unsure of the .htaccess setting, though i recently posted a small
how-to on using .htaccess files to override
settings in php.ini; this is common in shared hosting environments.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_php.ini_overrides_w/_.htaccess

basically, to have dbase support, php must be compiled w/ --enable-dbase,
per the documentation.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/rlef.dbase.php

perhaps, it is compiled in and the php.ini settings are preventing you from
using the functions (though that sounds hard to believe).
you might try tossing a phpinfo script on the box and looking for dbase in
the output; particularly look for --enable-dbase, or --disable-dbase.
you should see a dbase section also, if its compiled in.  if it is there we
can get a better idea of what sort of values could be placed in the
.htaccess file that would influence the behavior of the dbase component on
that system.
