I used to program very small database driven websites using ODBC connections in windows and ASP long time ago.
Today, after may be 10 years of not programming anymore, i need to do it again but i have a problem.
The hosting i am using is Linux, and there is no option for ODBC connections in the CPANEL.

I just need a very small application and the convenience of updating the database from time to time by editing it on a local computer using MS Access and re-uploading it via FTP. I do not have the time to learn PHP and MySQL from scratch and then write a whole application to edit and display mysql database contents on a simple webpage.

So is there a simple way to do this? to use an .mdb file with linux hosting and some basic php to display the contents of the database like i used to do with ISS ?
thank you

You can’t use access, or MSsql with Linux. Your best bet would be to move to a windows platform since that is what you’re familiar with.
