[RESOLVED] Interfacing with ODBC w/o web server

[CA42]

OK, this is truly a newbie question, but here it goes:

I am wanting to write an interface for a specific database (that is on the local machine) using a web browser (even though it isn't being served anywhere). Do I have to have IIS or Apache installed in order to get PHP to do that?

Thanks everyone!!

I can't think of any easy way to use a web browser to interact with PHP scripts other than using a web server.

So to answer your question, no, you don't have to have IIS or Apache installed... you just have to have some sort of web server running.

EDIT: Well, there are projects such as PHP-GTK and whatnot, but I don't have any experience with creating such an application nor have I seen one.

Thanks for the response bradgrafelman! I was afraid of that. I guess I'll go back to using VB to create a "normal" interface. I was hoping for a web-view, but I'll run with it!
