I have got a PHP based website hosted on a Unix server which I have found out needs to connect to a remote MS Access db. I thought at first PEAR::DB would come to my rescue with the ADO package, but it looks like the ADO package needs to be run on a windows server. I would like to keep the site on a Unix machine for various reasons and am hoping there is something I am missing...
Does anyone know a way to connect to a MS Access db server from a PHP<->Unix setup?
Thanks for any help!
Am I screwed --- or --- Can I connect Unix+PHP to MS Access?

Forgot to mention
I forgot to mention what makes this difficult. I don't have control of the Unix web server - it is hosted with RapidSite (ugh) and moving the site isn't an option. So I can't install anything (drivers and such) on the Unix server which would solve this problem.
