Php talk to hosted MS Access file?

Recommended Posts

I have a MS Access database file hosted on my Godaddy server.

I would like a simple php script to be able to access it and return values from it when I enter info from drop down boxes.

 

Eg column one is item name

Column two is price

Column three is items remaining

 

I want to pick an item from column one and have the appropriate values from columns two and three returned.

 

I have done many searches but most reveal php scripts that interrogate SQL databases.

Excuse my ignorance but are these what I want?

 

If not can anyone please get me going on a php script?

Ideally I don't want to change the format of the MS access database - I have it in xls and simply export and save it to access. If there is a simple way of reading directly from a specific tab in Excel that would be a better solution.

 

Thank you.
