Dear friends, I am in a problem. I need to connect a ms access db (example: mydb.mdb) using PHP that is (database) located in my another pc. I made a share folder on my second pc and place the database there. it looks like (C:/share/mydb.mdb) It can be accessed through local ip too like (\\192.168.2.12\share\mydb.mdb) I also made map drive in my pc-1 (php page running from here) for that shared folder. T looks like now (Z:/mydb.mdb) But I can't connect anyway using php. If place the database in my local pc then I can easily connect to the db using DSN or without DSN. Here is the code that is work for db connect that is located in same pc. <?php //Collect form data and assign to scalar variables $name = $_POST["name"]; //Establish a connection to the Database (use any one) $conn = odbc_connect('Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=E:\mydb.mdb','','123'); // Without DSN //$conn = odbc_connect('MyDatabase','','1234'); // using DNS //SQL Statement $sql = "INSERT INTO data (name) VALUES ('$name')"; //Execute SQL Statement and store results as a recordset $rs = odbc_exec($conn,$sql); if (!$rs){ exit("Error in SQL"); } odbc_close($conn); echo "ok"; ?> PHP: Please help me how can i connect shared/networked/map drive database. Thanks
