I am trying to connect to a microsoft access database that was given to me by using PHP. I would rather not use ODBC drivers to connect but I haven't been able to find a way to connect to the database otherwise.

Any ideas?
Only requirements are that it needs to be able to read and write from the database and that it has to be done through php. NO ODBC.

You should probably be using OleDb classes.

Your only other option is OleDb, using either the ACE or JET engines depending on the version of the Access database you're trying to get at.
