I can send you an example dbf file if you need, as it seems impossible to attach a file to a bug report

For information I tested on this version :

$ php --version
PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Jul 23 2008 06:44:49)

I looked up in the bugs list but didn't see anything related to my problem.

I will try to test the latest snapshot.

Not all fixed bugs are evident in the NEWS. Some people are lazy to write proper descriptions.

Same error with the latest snapshot.

I have this problem too.  It is a major problem for me.  I can provide example dbf files on request.

Running ubuntu hardy 2.6.24-19-generic.

Bug #54125 might be a duplicate of this issue.

Anyhow, mach07.DBF contains timestamp ("T") and a _NullFlags ("0")
field, which are not (yet) supported by PECL/dbase.

At least timestamp ("T") and nullable fields will be supported as of
dbase 7.0.0, so I'm closing this ticket.
 [2016-11-05 17:03 UTC] cmb@php.net 
Furthermore, the first unsupported field type in the DBF will be
explicitly reported.
