RE: [PHP-DB] MS ACCESS & PHP

Hi Troy, One way to do it is via ODBC. You can check out the PHP-ODBC HOWTO at www.iodbc.org. If you are on Windows, you can just use the Access driver directly. If your PHP is on linux, etc, then you can use a piggyback aproach. With Openlink's Drivers, for instance, you would set up the Linux machine as a client, Windows as a server, with regards to the ODBC components, and then: 1. create a DSN on the Win box, using MS Driver for Access, call it 'foo' for this example. 2. create a DSN on the Linux box (in the odbc.ini file) with ServerType=ODBC, Hostname=Windowsbox, Database=foo Hope this helps!
