RE: [PHP] PHP With MS Access On Unix

Regarding PHP / ODBC /Access, follow the Howto at http://www.iodbc.org/ to get ODBC compiled in. One choice in drivers is Openlink's ODBC Multi-Tier, which will place server components on the Win box and client on the BSD. After that is installed, you would: 1. configure a microsoft DSN on the Win box (called 'foo' for this example) 2. configure a DSN in the odbc.ini on the BSD box, with ServerType = ODBC, Host = <bsd box>, Database = foo, etc. This will give you a live piggyback on the MS driver. Openlink's drivers are a free, non-expiring download limited to 10 concurrent database connections. Hope this helps.
