PHP database issues

[harrylmh]

Can PHP connect to a MSAccess DB?

Just to add to this:
If so, do we have to code our own functions to connect/query the MSAccess DB, since PHP does not have any funcitons for it.

y do u even want to go w/ access?
its unreliable and could very easily crash the server (iis/pws) along the way
access is only able to work w/ a few concurrent connections too

That is quite laughable.

But is it possible to connect?

if ($possible == 'yeah')
I just want to try it out to see what it's like.

FINE! DON'T SAID YOU WEREN'T WARNED! :p
it is well documented that access is unstable to be used as a database server and i seen what could happen at 1st hand

I was laughing at access. I've heard that access was unreliable from another source, and to hear it here too makes it somehow a little amusing to me. :biggrin2:

Anyway, thanks very much for your link! I've bookmarked it.
