hackalive Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Okay so my webhost does not allow ODBC, so I need a new secure way (probably using PHP files) to connect my VB.NET program to the DB, it will only need to retrieve data from one database but many tables. So does anyone have any ideas how I can do this SECURELY? Thanks in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203439-alternative-to-odbc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 So I assume you use SQL Server? Have they got mssql available? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203439-alternative-to-odbc/#findComment-1065784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignace Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 How about pdo then? pdo is a php extension. I am well-aware of that, but this was moved here and was originally posted in the PHP Coding Help so I still believe he wants to use PHP as some kind of middle-layer between his DB and his VB.NET program as he can't use ODBC somehow...

KevinM1 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 @OP, you'd probably get more help at the ASP.NET forums. There's probably some other service provider you can use, or a way to directly connect to the DB, without having to introduce another language into the mix.
