I have a workstation running Windows 95 and Personal Web Server. I'm having a problem verifying that PHP is running properly. I'm also running MyODBC and MS FrontPage . How can I simply connect a php3 DB to ODBC?

Hi

If I am not wrong, what I understand from your question is that you are not able to connect to Access database php, right ?.

If yes, then check up these things.

1. try phpinfo(); and get the client variables set correctly

2. Try creating a DSN for MS Access in your machine and create a database and if you want, creat table and define the structure

3. First try connect to the Ms Access from PHP through mysql_odbc_pconnect() syntax

4. If it's successful then proceed with pulling out data from the tables, if you have any

5. Then proceed on with the programming logics that you have in your mind

Hope this helps.
