to set up a DSN go to control panel and then Administrative Tools then into Data Sources and then add a new system DSN. you can probably work the rest out as its fairly straight forward. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Villa [mailto:jvilla@isdesigndev.com] Sent: 13 February 2003 22:48 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: How to access a MS Access DB I need to know exactly how to hook up to an Access database under Office Xp. I normally use MySQL, but the current site sits on Windows servers. I am using php 4.3.0 Office Xp Pro w/ Access I'm running Apache 2.0.43 I need to know how to check if ODBC is set up on my machine (I hear that by default it is) and what's this about a driver? All I know at this point is odbc_connect("XXX","username","password"); Where XX is the DSN name I will be using, (how do this, i.e. set up a DSN name) Thanks much and in advance. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
