[PHP3] 2 newbie-questions! From: Martin Storsjö (martin.storsjo <email protected>)
Date: 03/23/99

I'm quite new to PHP, but I've got some experience with ASP, but I chose
to learn PHP because of it's platform-independence.
My questions are:

1. Does anybody of you know if there is any host that hosts pages, with
PHP and MySQL-support, for free.

2. Can I use a "dsn-less" connection, just like in ASP. In ASP one can
use something like this: "driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};dbq="
& Server.MapPath("/data/db.mdb")
Can I do that in PHP too? I've tried with
"odbc_connect("DSN-NAME","","");", and that works, of course, but how
should I do if I don't have access to that machine, or if I wouldn't
like to create a DSN. It doesn't work with
"odbc_connect("driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};dbq=c:\data\db.mdb","","");". Anybody know anything about this?
