The following script doesn't create a properly formatted .dbf 
file according to MS Access and MS Foxpro.  There are no data
records; just the header.  This appears to be something with
the size being incorrect -- a table created from MS Foxpro
with the same number of fields was larger; again, no data.

Script is executed from the command line as:
    php -q <script-name
