There is no ODBC driver for PEAR MDB2 yet. You will have to use PEAR DB:

Your probably better off porting the database to another back end though. This sounds eerily like a project I’ve worked on in the past.

How about stored procedures with multiple return sets in mySQL5?

Anyone know off the top of thier head if these are supported?

Thanks!

Also, I think there’s an error in a couple of code examples. Where you say:

$result = $dbh->query("select * from employee");
while ($row = $result->fetchRow()) {
echo $result['lastname'];
}


I think you mean $row[’lastname’], not $result[’lastname’]

The PDO library has all the same DB agnostic features of MDB2 plus some neat features like fetching into an object.

I think the MDB2 folk should take any features not in PDO and just extend PDO with them.

I am writing another browser application using PHP and MySql on a Linux box that will use data from the Access database and add considerable functionality.

Previously I have tried odbtp here in my office with limited success but am wondering if MDB2 has the ability to connect my Linux PHP application to Access mdb files on a windoze box?

Thanks for your insight,

Ron

should be


if (PEAR::isError ($dbh)) {
die(" Error: ". $dbh->getMessage());
}
'database' => "database"
);
