I'm looking for a PHP library that would allow me to write in the native file format of Microsoft Access (".mdb"). This would allow me to "hand" a copy of a MySQL database to my client. I'm hosted on unix, and I'm not familiar with ODBC, nor do I have access to MS Access running on a server. Does something like this exist? I haven't found anything helpful at HotScripts.com or php.net. Another possibility might be for me to use PHP's built-in support for .dbf files. However, my hosting company doesn't use the "--enable-dbase" flag on their PHP installation. Also, I've heard that string fields longer than 255 characters can't be exported into a dBase file. Besides ODBC, is my only option to write a quick tab-delimited export routine for my data? Thanks for any helpful advice! Scott Teresi steresi@mac.com
