Re: [PHP-DB] Re: PHP connection to remote Access database on NT

You cannot use FreeTDS to connect to an Access database.  You also cannot
use odbc on Linux either.  The only way to connect to an Access database
from Linux is with something like EasySoft's ODBC-ODBC bridge or ODBTP.

  Here's a question I hoped I'd never have to ask...
 
  Is it possible for PHP, running on a Linux/Apache webserver, to connect
  to an Access database running on a remote NT box? The NT box is a back
  office server behind a firewall.
 
  In a nutshell, the customer wants his website to be able to record
  on-line sales in his Access-based Point of Sale system. The POS system
  will be running simultaneously.
 
  I haven't done much work with Access, but my impression is that it locks
  tables and there might be some difficulties sharing write access to the
  data, but I could be wrong about this.
 
  Is there any way Access can be stretched to do this kind of thing?
 
  Thanks.
