Connect to Access

[e_00_3]

Hey everybody,

Just a quick question for you PHP programmer out there.

I am a newbie and am starting to learn to use database with my PHP scripts. My OS is Win 98 and don't have MySQL. That's why I'm using Access as my database.

However, I was just wondering is there a way to connent to an Access database without using a datasource name?

Thank you, man.

Yup.... you can create ODBC and use ODBC functions to play! BUT there is no direct support for Access in PhP as Access is not a professional database!

 For quick look at ODBC functions, take a look at

  Also, yaar My SQL is not a jinn, try it. You can download its version for windows from www.mysql.com. For its front end, download mysql front from www.mysqlfront.de. If there is a problem, we are here to kill it :) For my sql functions, see
