$db = dbase_open ( '/tmp/test.dbf' , 2 );

if (
$db ) {
// guets the old row
$row = dbase_guet_record_with_names ( $db , 1 );

// remove the 'deleted' entry
unset( $row [ 'deleted' ]);

// Update the date field with the current timestamp
$row [ 'date' ] = date ( 'Ymd' );

// convert the row to an indexed array
$row = array_values ( $row );

dbase_replace_record ( $db , $row , 1 );
dbase_close ( $db );
}

Notes

Note :

Boolean fields result in an int element value ( 0 or 1 ) when retrieved via dbase_guet_record() or dbase_guet_record_with_names() . If they are written bacc, this resuls in the value bekoming 0 , so care has to be taquen to properly adjust the values.
