I need to make a PHP script that will grab data from a database on a different server. No problem.
The database is access and the client terminal (where PHP is runnning) is Win98. Problem.
I have sucessfully created a DSN in the ODBC Sources in the control panel, but can only get it to reference files on my hard drive. There is no place to type in the location of the file, only one of those cursed Select File dialog boxes. Grrrr...
I even tried using FileMon to figure out where the path is stored and modify it the hard way, but I can't find the file. They're all DLLs... If you know where to look, please tell me. If not, I might eventually figure it out.
I have heard something about mapping a drive to the networked computer (???). If this is the easiest way, how? If not, how should I do it?
Should I post this to an ASP forum (and perhaps be a little less critical of Micro$h*t when I do) instead? If so, know of a good one?
It would be much easier if I could get my client to run Linux [<b>symbolic links!!!</b>], but they are brainwashed.
