Hello!

I have a problem! i have a paradox database on my PC and I want to connect to it from my webserver(internet provider, not on my PC). I use ODBC and on my server at home it works. But how i can connect from web to my home odbc database?

Please help me!

    If the database is into a server with an I.P., you can try the following:

    $Conn = odbc_connect("ip_of_server","username","password");

    If on a Windows machine, you can set up a DSN (Data Source Name), to point to the database containing the Paradox. Then, use:

    $Conn = odbc_connect("dsn_name","username","password");

    Hope this helps you

      I have ODBC on my windows maschine at home!
      Can I connect from web to the ODBC and use the database?

        Yes, you can connect from web. To make things better,i recommend you use SQL server intead of MS Aceess, because the later gives lots of troubles with ODBC_* functions

          Hi,

          Can you please guide me. 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.

          I wonder is there is some Geek in the entire world who can bring some light regarding Dreamweaver and PHP-PARADOX combination.

          For know, i just need to get work the ODBC-PARADOX connection.

          Thanks !!!!
