Hi Ivan,

Check out the ODBC chapter in Professional PHP4 (Wrox Press) and also
read the PHP HOWTO at www.iodbc.org for an explanation of ODBC in PHP -
the short answer to your question "can I connect to Access" is "maybe".
A lot of it depends on your platform and available drivers.

Subject: [PHP-DB] MS Access DB Open as file ?

Hi All,
        I'm new in PHP and I whether I can open a MS Access database
file
directly with PHP?
        There is a thing called ODBC but in the function odbc_connect(),
The
first parameter is something called dsn, what's that? And does that mean
I
can't open the MS Access database directly by somehow only giving it's
path?
Thanks.
Ivan
