Description:
------------
$dbf_file="/mnt/db/part_cin.DBF";
/*Get filmcat metadata*/		
$db = dbase_open($dbf_file, 0);
$records = @dbase_numrecords($db) or die("Error reading filmcat's number of fields");
echo $records;  

The problem does not occur on PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 but on CentOS PHP Version 5.3.3.

There is the dbf file : http://cinematek.be/ftp/upload/it/part_cin.dbf

the phpinfo for centos : http://cinematek.be/ftp/upload/it/phpinfo_not_ok.pdf

the phpinfo on ubuntu : http://cinematek.be/ftp/upload/it/phpinfo_ok.pdf

Test script:
---------------
$dbf_file="/mnt/db/part_cin.DBF";
/*Get filmcat metadata*/		
		$db = dbase_open($dbf_file, 0);
		$records = @dbase_numrecords($db) or die("Error reading filmcat's number of fields");
		echo $records;  

Expected result:
----------------
get number of records.

37

Actual result:
--------------
unable to open database.

Warning: dbase_open(): unable to open database /mnt/db/filmcat.dbf in /home/lloyd/public_html/metadata.class.php on line 17 Warning: dbase_numrecords(): Unable to find database for identifier 0 in /home/lloyd/public_html/metadata.class.php on line 19 Error reading /mnt/db/filmcat.dbf number of fields

So you are saying

works fine with 5.3.10
fails with 5.3.3

Sounds like it was fixed in a newer version - so you need to upgrade...

yeah, i'll see if it's possible on CentOS.

There is another difference, on Ubuntu dbase is installed as an additional module ... Maybe i've to look this way too ?

Opening the dbf works fine for me with dbase 5.1.0. Which version
did you use?
