Hi there,
I'm not a database expert, neither am I a Linux one. I'm currently developing some online application to ease the processes of the office, that requires php scripting.
Bcos of the nature of php's cgi.exe / isapi.dll on Windoze enviroment, that if agree with me, is pretty unstable, we at the workplace have unanimously decided to have the site ported over on a Linux platform... Hah!
However we are using MS Access 97 which we do not intend to change to MySQL or any other database for that matter due to certain reasons.
My Question is;
1. Would it be possible to use the Access database via php in the Linux machine at the same time? Would there be any changes to the php scripts?
2. Would it be better to have it on another remote windows machine to run the database file or to have it locally on the linux server???
Thanks.
