dbf file is ancient database file from 1980s. The only option is use third party software to convert dbf files from/into microsoft excel format. Most modern apps no longer support DBF directly.

Microsoft Excel will open a DBF file - just resave as Excel

Thank you for the responses. I realize that dbf is too old. I am just trying to make it easy for users to connect web app (phprunner) with their application based on dbf that still exist. Just want to give users more convenience.

This is possible to implement with the help of some custom coding. PHP comes with all required functions to read database structure and data from DBF files:
