resource $connection (line 97)

The raw database connection created by PHP

array $dsn = array() (line 103)

The DSN information for connecting to a database

array $features = array(
'limit' => false,
'new_link' => false,
'numrows' => true,
'pconnect' => false,
'prepare' => false,
'ssl' => false,
'transactions' => false,
) (line 76)

The capabilities of this DB implementation

The 'new_link' element contains the PHP version that first provided new_link support for this DBMS. Contains false if it's unsupported.

Meaning of the 'limit' element:

• 'emulate' = emulate with fetch row by number
• 'alter' = alter the query
• false = skip rows

integer $result = 0 (line 119)

The quantity of results so far

For emulating result resources.

array $types = array(
'C' => 'character',
'D' => 'date',
'L' => 'boolean',
'M' => 'memo',
'N' => 'number',
) (line 130)

Maps dbase data type id's to human readable strings

The human readable values are based on the output of PHP's dbase_get_header_info() function.

• since: Property available since Release 1.7.0

connect (line 202)

Connect to the database and create it if it doesn't exist

Don't call this method directly. Use DB::connect() instead.

PEAR DB's dbase driver supports the following extra DSN options:

• mode An integer specifying the read/write mode to use (0 = read only, 1 = write only, 2 = read/write). Available since PEAR DB 1.7.0.
• fields An array of arrays that PHP's dbase_create() function needs to create a new database. This information is used if the dBase file specified in the "database" segment of the DSN does not exist. For more info, see the PHP manual's dbase_create() page. Available since PEAR DB 1.7.0.

• return: DB_OK on success. A DB_Error object on failure.

• array $dsn: the data source name
• bool $persistent: should the connection be persistent?

fetchInto (line 303)

Places a row from the result set into the given array

Formating of the array and the data therein are configurable. See DB_result::fetchInto() for more information.

This method is not meant to be called directly. Use DB_result::fetchInto() instead. It can't be declared "protected" because DB_result is a separate object.

• return: DB_OK on success, NULL when the end of a result set is reached or on failure
• see: DB_result::fetchInto()

• resource $result: the query result resource
• array $arr: the referenced array to put the data in
• int $fetchmode: how the resulting array should be indexed
• int $rownum: the row number to fetch (0 = first row)
• &$arr

numCols (line 364)

Gets the number of columns in a result set

This method is not meant to be called directly. Use DB_result::numCols() instead. It can't be declared "protected" because DB_result is a separate object.

• return: the number of columns. A DB_Error object on failure.
• see: DB_result::numCols()

• resource $result: PHP's query result resource
• $foo

query (line 272)

• $query

DB_common::query()

Sends a query to the database server

tableInfo (line 422)

Returns information about the current database

• return: an associative array with the information requested. A DB_Error object on failure.
• see: DB_common::tableInfo()
• since: Method available since Release 1.7.0

• mixed $result: THIS IS UNUSED IN DBASE. The current database is examined regardless of what is provided here.
• int $mode: a valid tableInfo mode

DB_common::tableInfo()

Returns information about a table or a result set
