Can I Connect a MS Access Database wth PHP?

[Guest]

I use a UNIX server, but I use a Windows platform. I wanted to make a webpage
that people could upload their files, and I have successfully done it. The
problem is, now that the CHMOD has been switched to 777, I am fearing that
others who have the url may hack into the system.

I have been suggested by an employer that I could use a "Log-in" system.
However, the problem is, I don't actually get to access into the UNIX server
to change to settings, so I am not sure if it supports ODBC or SQL database
system. Is it possible that I put the database file under the root of my
files, and have another PHP webpage directly link it to the database without
the interference of the UNIX server? Or, is it possible that I have all the
log-in information in .csv or .txt format to have another webpage link to it
as it makes its queries?

Help!!!

You'd be better off asking in a newsgroup related to PHP (and I don't
believe you'll find one here in the microsoft.public.* hierarchy)

If it's capable of using ODBC (or, better yet, DAO), then the answer would
probably be yes.
