Can PHP talk to a VB msmdb?

Oct 19th, 2007

I'm working in a VB environment with MS-mdb. Can I use a PHP web format to create a security key that would be sent to the VB app users to allow access to the .mdb?

Can the .mdb listen and respond to the php message?

If so how?

use ODBC/OLEDB to talk directly to the database from PHP (if PHP is on a windows machine). You can't execute any functions in the mdb, but you could insert keys/etc into the database that could be checked later.

Need a simple, powerful knowledgebase? Bigattichouse Knowledge Base finds the solution while you're still typing the problem.
