Hi all,

Does anyone have an basic code example on how to go about reading / manipulating an MsAccess database using PHP and MySQL? I just need to see how the syntax is used. Afterwards, I'm just going to read up on the tutorials and learn the other tricks. Thanks!

It's not possible to manipulate an access database using PHP and MySQL as far as I know, so good luck finding any ways on how to do it.

If it's a Windows server, you may be able to manipulate it using ODBC and a DSN, but I don't have any code samples.

Hi - I'm not sure if you are still interested in this informtion as it has been a while since you posted (sorry I just signed on) but I ran across an article about just this - Access and PHP. It may be worth taking a look.

Hope it helps.

To moderator - I have nothing to do with the site above. I swear it's not a spam!!!!

Why do you need MySQL to manipulate MS Access database. PHP is fine if running on windows server.
