compatible PHP db

dunno about a free (tool) to do this, but if you can export your database as sql.. (not sure if you can do this in access, i know you can in that other cheap ms database [sql server]).. but if you can do this, then just export the data into some csv format and import that into cool db of choice!

There is some information in the PHP manual for odbc_connect - look at the user comments.

from the searching i have done it looks like you can convert from access to mysql i have found a migration thing on the mysql website i dont know if its free but if you do a search on google for a access to mysql converter you will find alot of options here are a few i found :)

the one from the mysql db here : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/migration-toolkit/en/mysql-migration-toolkit-indepth-sourcedb-access.html

and if you really want to use access which most people will say dont. there are ways just do a quick google search for php + ms access and you will find a few options :) good luck
