An indexed array with the record. This array will also include an associative key named deleted which is set to 1 if the record has been marked for deletion (see dbase_delete_record).

Each field is converted to the appropriate PHP type, except:

  • Dates are left as strings.
  • DateTime values are converted to strings.

On error, dbase_get_record will return false.
