PHP and MSAccess

Post by chemoautotroph »

Is it possible to connect to a MS Access database with PHP4? Let's assume I have no access (except FTP/HTTP, duh) to the server, hence I can't change any configuration.

If it is possible, could someone post some example source code or direct me to some? (php.net didn't help AT ALL)

Thanks for any help in advance.

You can use ODBC if the database is setup with a system DSN but there are other alternatives:
