Using php and MS access 2007 database

Post by aditi_19 »

Hi,
I have an access 2007 database for a small company. I am in dilemma whether to convert the access database into Mysql and then use it with php or use the original access database with php? Which option is more preferable because the access database is large and i don't want any mess while converting it into mysql !

I have no problem in using php and ms access but the only issue is that i am unable to find any tutorial or book with php and access connectivity and i am a newbie into the field. Could you give me some links as to how to use php and access 2007 database? It would be of great help !

Please help me..Thanks a lot

I think Mysql and Php would be a good choice for your db.

Unlike ms access 2007 php and mysql are free and well tested.

take a look at this page for xampp(php , mysql, myphpadmin, and apache bundled
easy install):

In order to retrieve data from your access db try this link:
