Hey there, I just started to venture out on the php language and I've just been wondering, Can i access MS Access Databases using PHP?? I've only just started messing with things and it looks like I can only work with text based databases? hopefully someone can help me here.

Web Design ~ What a job!

PHP supports ODBC connections. As well as support for the following databases: dBase, DBM, FrontBase, Ingres II, mSQL, MS SQL, mySQL, Oracle, Ovrimos, PostgreSQL, SESAM, Sybase

Probably some that I missed too.

i'd suggest not using access though, if you want to learn to make web apps try out mysql.
