Access Database

[MasterT]

hi guys i got this database script from
http://php.weblogs.com/adodb
and i got no idea what im doing

u see i have these pages on my web site that i have duplicates of in the site and i want them all to be updated from one location (database) and then i wanna take that info from the database and put it into these duplicates so it makes it like 3 times faster

i know nothing of mySQL and my host only lets me have 1 mySQL Database

i know kinda ACCESS and i would like to use that

i just got noidea how to use this script is there an easier script that only deals with access ?

A couple of things:

I assume that the ADOdb allows PHP to read/write to an Access database?

Access dbs will need to be allowed by your host, which if they are running mySQL, they are probably running linux, which rules access out since it is Windows only.

mySql is not too hard to figure out, just find out if your host uses any sort of admin feature, such as phpMyAdmin or something of that nature. If so, creating your database is a simple as filling out a web form.

For what it sound like you want to do, one mySql db should be fine. You might elaborate on it such as if you need different content on the pages, or if the content is the same etc etc...this will determine the size, design and number of dbs needed.

PHP pages can connect to a variety of dbs, including access, however, access is security prone, not very reliable or scalable in a web hosting situation.
