muppet77 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 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.

trq Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 You can connect to access databases using the ODBC driver.
