DSN-less connection to Access 2000...with PHP how?

[TheSeeker]

I am looking for PHP code to connect (DSN-less) to an access 2000 database. No OBDC

In ASP the DSN -less connection looks something like this

AccessConnectionString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ="server.mappath("DatabaseName.mdb") _ & ";uid=;password=;"

...what is the code to use for PHP to connect.

I am partcularly interested if there is a php equivalent to "server.mappath( ) function.
