RE: [PHP] For My Information

Over 60% of websites use Apache. Many people using MySQL and PHP also run Apache for the complete open source solution. This is cheap to set up, and easy to get support for (there's even a mailing list called AMP - Apache/MySQL/PHP). And, IIRC, those on NT 4.0 Workstation don't *have* IIS. It's easy to configure and maintain, is constantly being upgraded and bug-fixed, and has tons of support and reference online. Just my 0.02 euros, obviously.

Is there a reason? I have PHP up and running with dBase tables converted to MySQL and ODBC connected to Access 2000, on an NT 4 box with IIS 4 and it runs very well. Performance is great. My only problem is automating the conversion to update tables in MySQL. I would like like to convert the Access 2000 tables also but the converters either don't seem to work with Access 2k, or not much at all, or are not such that a timed batch file can be generated using them. I just looked at what I've written and it's a little jumbled. Mega-Sigh. Let me summarize. 1.. Why Apache on NT 4.0? 2.. Is there a good way to automatically convert Access 2000 to MySQL to keep MySQL data up to date? The data needs to be updated several times a week. No I can't just switch everything over and not have to convert again. 3.. A way to do #2 for dBase would be good too, but less critical because the data only gets updated every couple months. Thanks in advance. Dan Malcolm dmalcolm@hiwaay.net Dan.Malcolm@gets-1000.com
