I’m trying to connect to a MS Access db via PHP using ODBC. I’ve tried with the PHP PDO lib as well as ADODB (http://adodb.org/) – but neither works.
PDO returns: could not find driver: PDO->__construct(‘odbc:DRIVER={Mi…’) ADODB returns: Call to undefined function odbc_exec()
I think I’ve installed the ODBC extension properly. I installed:
apt-get install libmdbodbc1 apt-get install libodbc1 apt-get install php5-odbc apt-get install libmyodbc
…basically every odbc related lib I came across. still no luck.
Any tips or suggestions?

I came here looking for a resolution to an issue reading an access database. This GIST article may be of use. https://gist.github.com/amirkdv/9672857
I can access the database using mdbtools but from apache a fault is thrown the first time I try to issue a prepared statement.
Did you get this working?
