Access ".dbf" file from php

[lalith_max]

I got this error : Warning: dbase_open() [function.dbase-open]: unable to open database pmast.dbf in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Lending\foxpro_dsn.php on line 10
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
#CREATE CSV
$date = date('mdy');
$file = 'CSV/TransferData'.$date.'.csv';
$fp = @fopen( $file, 'rw' );

#SELECT DBF TO OPEN - READ ONLY
$db = dbase_open("pmast.dbf", 0);//Z:\SECPAY1
//$file_dbf = 'pmast.dbf';
//$db = dbase_open($file_dbf, 0);
#PULL UP RECORD
if($db)
{
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++)
{
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);

[COLOR="#40E0D0"]#WRITE ROWS TO VARIABLE[/COLOR]
echo [COLOR="#0000FF"]$row[/COLOR]['empno'];
[COLOR="#0000FF"]$row[/COLOR]['category'].","."\n";

}
}

#WRITE TO CSV
@fwrite( $fp, $csv_data );
@fclose( $_fp );
?>

Please suggest me a solution...
Thanks

Since you haven't supplied a path, the database file would have to be in the same directory as the script trying to read it. Is it?

Incidentally, if you check the forums' FAQs, you'll see that we have a [noparse]

[/noparse] tag for syntax-highlighting PHP code. You don't need to do it manually.

Yes, database file is in the same directory, it 'pmast.dbf'

What does adding this code do?

$path = getcwd();
if (is_readable($path."/pmast.dbf")) {
   echo nl2br("The file exists and I can read it.".PHP_EOL);
} elseif (file_exists($path."/pmast.dbf")) {
      echo nl2br("The file exists, but I cannot read it.".PHP_EOL);
} else {
      echo nl2br("The file does not exist.".PHP_EOL);
}
