In an evironment that can be maddenly heterogenous, I need to connect --using php-- to an Access database that resides on a Win2k server. Recently, the day before yesterday in fact, Cold Fusion Server's CFMail capability gave up the ghost and I'm looking for an alternative way to post web information received via a form to a database and have it auto generate e-mail to the poster. I know how to do that in php(4) and MySQL --in fact I have that component working. But (and there is always a but), the form I have to use has selections that are stored in an Access database on one of the Win 2K machines. Samba is installed on the server that is running php/MySQL. I don't have the time at this point (or truthfully the desire even if I had the time) to install the Windows variant of php and MySQL on the Win 2k box.. Heck, I don't even have the time to do the reinstall of Cold Fusion 5 on the Win 2k box. If anyone has experience using Unix tools (like Unix ODBC) or can point me to a reference where I might learn how to make a Unix<-->Access db connection, I'd be most appreciative.
