RE: [PHP-WIN] Anyone using PHP with MS Access successfully?

OK, but I'm also stuck with an IIS server (due to a third party "Web Enabling Solution" ... let's hear votes for Access v. MySQL in this environment... I don't mind learning the "hard" stuff... but I don't want to screw myself either... I originally got into the whole PHP because of a MySQL/PHP driven site, so I have nothing against MySQL unless it's a compatability issue...

Hi > -----Original Message----- > Ofcourse you can use Access through the use of ODBC, MySQL is not for > beginner's who use windows and don't now unix. this is not true. MySQL is a installable programm like every other win32-App, with an easy documentation. The most important thing is this: windows don't reflect the current internet-webserver, so if you do local development, you must emulate the internet/unix solution as good as possible. This can only be done via apache1.3.12 with php3/4 and mysql (or another often used internet-Sql-Base), even if you are learning php/database progamming. It is not a good idea if you use access connected with php for learning (cause you can't use this combo on real-life-server), try learning the "hard" way, it worth the energy you put into.
