Is it possible to access an MS access DB stored on a local machine, with php.

I want to create a php script that lets users import data from an access db, my 2 options are access it on their local machine (using an odbc connection I believe) or upload it to the server and then run a script to grab the data

Is anyone of this possible?

thanks

you would need to upload the DB to the server most likely, perhaps use CSV instead.

then in php use fgetcsv to split the rows.
