Thanks for the answers guys! Now I know that I need a driver on the
Unix machine which hosts my website. So obdc support in php and obdc
driver are two different things right?
Erwin...I checked the adodb website and it supports and it supports
access but only in Windows (
http://www.phplens.com/adodb/supported.databases.html ). Hopefully I
can find soemthing else.
Thanks,
Harsha.
