yes, it's possible. I'm learning php myself. (I'm a CF junkie.)
I got this script from somewhere. I have the info on a backup CD at home.
I'll post it if you're having problems with the script below. (I did a
google for: ODBC connection mySQL, or something similar to that.)
The script below is what I adapted for my purposes.
You have to go to (I'm using Win2000, yours would be similar, but
necessarily the same)
START >
CONTROL PANEL >
ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS >
DATA SOURCES (ODBC) >
SYSTEM DSN : ADD [select Access]; enter the name; click "select" and give
the path to your db.
Once again, if you're not using Win2000 the above will be slightly
different.
The php is below:
<?php
function monthly() {
/*
Make the connection to the database. The syntax is
odbc_connect( 'SYSTEM_DSN' , 'USER', 'PASSWORD' );
$cnx will hold the
pconnect is used to establish a persistent database
connection to the Database until the procedure is completed.
*/
$cnx = odbc_connect( 'SYSTEM_DSN' , 'root', '' );
if (!$cnx) {
Error_handler( "Error in odbc_connect" , $cnx );
}
// send a simple odbc query . returns an odbc cursor
$cur= odbc_exec( $cnx,
"
SELECT yourFieldName1, yourFieldName2, yourFieldName3
FROM table
" );
if (!$cur) {
Error_handler( "Error in odbc_exec( no cursor returned ) " , $cnx );
}
// fetch the succesive result rows
while( odbc_fetch_row( $cur ) ) {
$yourFieldName1= odbc_result( $cur, 1 );
$yourFieldName2= odbc_result( $cur, 2 );
$yourFieldName3= odbc_result( $cur, 3 );
echo"
$yourFieldName1 -- $yourFieldName2 -- $yourFieldName3<br>
";
}
// close the connection. important if persistent connection are "On"
odbc_close( $cnx);
}
?>

hi,
I have been learning PHP and MySQL from a book that I have bought. I am
really pleased with the way these 2 systems work, but I was wondering if
MSSQL wouldn't be easier to use, more specifically I was wondering wether I
could make an Access Database and connect it to my php website using MSSQL.
I heard it would be possible
And now I ask the experts... :-)
