PHP Connection to Access .mdb Database


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

 

Here goes, i've no idea where to start with this, and i know this place has sorted me out before with all my php needs :)

 

Im only used to connecting php with MySQL however im now trying to connect to a Microsoft Access .mdb database that i have on my web server and have no idea how. Ive tried lots of combinations and have had no luck. I understand that there is odbc and DSN-Less connections but which one do i use. Also if ODBC how on earth do i go about setting an ODBC connection up on my web server, do i get my hosting company to do it for me??

 

If possible i would like to by-pass the odbc connection and connect to the db in a different way.

 

Just for a little extra information i have the database file called hope.mdb inside a subfolder on my domain called db.

 

Can anyone please help me??

 

Thanks alot in advance for any help at all.

 

Danny  :)
