Paradox--> ODBC--> PHP--> Dreamweaver !!! please guide me !!

[mysticav]

I need to setup the ODBC conection to a paradox database, I have tried and fail. Actually, what I want to do is to bring the paradox database (all the tables)
to dreamweaver MX 2004 and create recordsets, similar as PHP/MySQL.

I know that there is no way to connect directly dreamweaver to paradox. but, ODBC must be the solution.

Indeed, Talking about Paradox --> ODBC -> PHP -> Dreamweaver seems to be a little hard.
In fact, I have been looking in the web, and there is no info. regarding this topic.

Thanks !!!!

I just have found the solution.

If you would like to connect to a paradox database or any other (not all databases require ODBC) using dreamweaver and PHP, fisrt of all, you have set a odbc dsn connection
(Control panel --> Administrative tools --> Data Sources)

There's a lot of information in the web regarding this step (the ODBC DSN configuration)

After that, download the PHAkt extension for Dreamweaver here:

Inside the download file (.rar file) you will find the extension and also a tutorial, very clear and easy to follow)

In fact, if you would like to use PHP to connect to other database rather than MySQL (Because native Dreamweaver only supports MySQL connectivity for PHP), you will need this extension. It support 13 types of databases for PHP !!!)

I was ready to change to ASP, until I found this extension.
