ian89 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi. I need to start on this certain project but I basically do not know where to start. We have this existing database of approved parts and their specifications, etc. in MS Access, and I need to make a more convenient way of accessing them, that is, through web interface in an intranet. What I want to know is, where do you begin in PHP to make an Apache-powered web interface to retrieve data from MS Access. Thanks.

DyslexicDog Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well first off I would transfer that database to a mysql database to help ease into php. Then it's a matter of creating forms similar to what you have in the access database in your choice of markup language. Then you need php code to process the pages that you are working with. You should be able to get all the information you need to do these things floating around on the internet, but a book might be a better place to start. I like the wrox books but everyone has a favorite. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98392-ms-access-php/#findComment-503545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You can work with Access via ODBC, but I recommend transferring the data to MySQL since Access is a desktop application and often clumsy. This might help. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98392-ms-access-php/#findComment-503547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
