Hi All,
I've got PHP running on an NT box with IIS 4.0. I also have an SQL
server 6.5 running on another box. Here is my question. I need to make data
reports based on a database located on the SQL server. There is an access
database that points to this SQL server through linked tables. What should I
do? Connect to the acces database or the SQL server? Is one harder than the
other? Is there any kind of advantage to using one over the other? I'm going
to look at the PHP documentation to figure it all out, but any kind of head
start you guys could give me would be appreciated. I have only used PHP to
connect to a mysql database and have found it very easy, but have not
connected to anything else.
Regards,
Martin
