Description:
------------
Create a dbase File with Version 5.2.6 will get currupted dbase header.

Can not be opened from Excel or Borlands Dbase-Engine

similar bug Bug #41394 seems to be not resolved.

Reproduce code:
---------------
// database "definition"
                                        
$def = array(
            array("date",       "D"),
            array("name",        "C",  50),
            array("age",       "N",   3, 0),
            array("email",       "C", 128),
            array("ismember", "L")
        );
                                                                        
                                   
// creation
$db = dbase_create("/tmp/test.dbf", $def);

if(!$db) print "<strong>Error!</strong>";
dbase_close($db);


Expected result:
----------------
Hexdump of Dbase File with PHP 5.2.1:
00000000  03 6b 05 0f 00 00 00 00  c1 00 bf 00 00 00 00 00              
       
                   ^^
                    Day: 15
                ^^
                 Month: 5
             ^^
              Year from 1900: 107 + 1900 = 2007
          ^^
           Dbase-Version: 3 = Dbase Level 5


Actual result:
--------------

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
