interfacing with ms access using PHP

Jun 12, 2012 9:26 AM

I was to learn how to interface with a MS Access database using PHP

I am doing this for the sake of learning it rather than because i need to use it for a specific perpose

 

anyway when interfacing with MYSQL it is advised that you use extensions like MySQLi or PDO_MySQL rather than the native php functions
are there any extensions for MS acess which are recomended or is it o to just use native PHP functionality

    The only way PHP can connect to Access that I am aware of is through the ODBC functions ( http://php.net/manual/en/book.uodbc.php ).  I will admit I'm not too familiar with it because I've only focused my time on mySQL and a bit of MS SQL.  There were too many limitations for Access and it's not as efficient at handling data like SQL databases are.
