Hi Silvia,
You first need to link your PHP/Apache install in Linux against an ODBC
Driver Manager.
You may obtain the iODBC Driver Manager at www.iodbc.org and follow the
HOWTO on that site for linking with PHP.
Then you will need a Driver - I suggest you download OpenLink's Multi-Tier
Driver, and use the ODBC Agent on the Windows box.
After you install the MT Driver, with client components on the Linux box and
server components on the Win box:
1. create a DSN on the Win box using the MS Driver for Access. for this
example let's name it "foo".
2. create a DSN on the Linux box, either in the OpenLink Admin pages
(http://servername:8000) or simply by editing the relevant odbc.ini.
Configure the DSN as usual, except specify ServerType = ODBC, Hostname = [ip
of Win box], and Database = foo.
If you require assistance, free support is available at
