Description:
------------
When opening a dbf file using dbase_open($file, 1), the call fails because it can't reads the header infos.

We can only open dbase files in read-only or read-write mode. Either it's an implementation or a documentation one.

If it's the intended behaviour, can you make it throw a warning more explicit ?

Thanks in advance,

didou

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$desc = array(
 array("foo", "C", 50),
);

$df = dbase_create("db.dbf", $desc);
dbase_close($df);

var_dump(dbase_open('db.dbf', 1));

?>

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
Unable to get header

Warning: unable to open database db.dbf in /home/didou/plop.php on line 11
bool(false)
