Hi all,
Can I use Access Database with php on linux?

If not; what is the best solution?

Thank you for your time

you can use access with php, but im not too sure about using it on linux.

your best option would be mysql, or for a small db, php comes with a database built in. sqlite

Almost certainly, only using an expensive proprietry ODBC driver, and even then it will be rubbish.

MSAccess is not a useful database for a web back-end. It isn't robust enough.

If you use another (server-based) database such as MySQL, or MSSQL, you can still use MSAccess as a client for it, by creating link tables.
