View Full Version : Looking for Unix host with very specific PHP support

I am looking for very specific host and was hoping someone here might have some ideas.

The easy part:

Virtual (shared) Unix server.
PHP,MySQL support.
Reseller support.

The hard part:

I need PHP compiled with ODBC support. I am migrating a site built in PHP/MySQL and I need to connect that site to a remote Access DB. That means the machine would need something like MyODBC installed and PHP compiled with that support (or something similar.).

I am looking for a large, reputable host (who isn't?). Every host I have looked at can support the easy part just fine, but none seem to have ODBC drivers so I can hook up with the Access db.

My other, less appealing option is to migrate the site to a PHP enabled windows server and use MSSQL instead of MySQL. But I really would rather not have to do that (lots of unix specific things going on in the PHP).

Thanks for any help!

I am inherently untrusting of people who have a vested interest (at least when they are trying to sell me something). Maybe that's why I looked right past the advertising forum when thinking of this issue - but yes I guess it fits better there. :homer:
