Not too much of a php programmer, but I am wondering if you can access a MS Access database through PHP?
What are the pluses and minuses? Is there a better way to use the Access DB?

Thanks,
palmtree

I was recently looking into this myself.

Have a look at http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/siddarth20000228.php3

You can use PHP with Access as long as they are running on Windows. Use regular odbc functions from PHP to access the database.

On other platform I believe it is not possible. :( CMIIW.
