[OT] Connect to local linux ms access jet database via odbc from php or java



Hi!

I originally sent this post to unixodbc support list but received no
answer. Its crucial to me to solve this problem so any help will be
apreciated.

I spent some time googling and trying to establish connections from linux
pc to local mdb file but had no luck. Here is my configuration:

Ubuntu edgy 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP

unixodbc 2.2.11-13
unixodbc-bin 2.2.11-13
libmdbodbc 0.5.99.0.6pre1.0.20051109-3
libmdbtools 0.5.99.0.6pre1.0.20051109-3
mdbtools 0.5.99.0.6pre1.0.20051109-3
mdbtools-gmdb 0.5.99.0.6pre1.0.20051109-3

# cat /etc/odbc.ini
[ODBC]

Tracefile=/tmp/trc.log

[LOIR]

Driver = MDBToolsODBC
Database = /var/www/storage.mdb
Server = localhost
Username = ""
Password = ""

# cat /etc/odbcinst.ini
[MDBToolsODBC]
Description             = MDBToolsODBCdrivers
Driver          = /usr/lib/libmdbodbc.so.0
UsageCount              = 1
FileUsage               = 1


# ls -la /var/www
-rw-r--r--  1 www-data www-data      193 2007-03-25 16:01 .odbc.ini
-rw-r--r--  1 www-data www-data 48791552 2007-03-24 02:04 storage.mdb

# cat /etc/passwd
www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh


# cat /var/www/access.php
<html>
<body>

<?php
$conn=odbc_connect('LOIR','','');
if (!$conn)
  {exit("Connection Failed: " . $conn);}
$sql="SELECT CITY_NAME, CITY_ZIPCODE FROM CITIES";
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
if (!$rs)
  {exit("Error in SQL");}
echo "<table><tr>";
echo "<th>CITY_NAME</th>";
echo "<th>CITY_ZIPCODE</th></tr>";
while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))
{
  $compname=odbc_result($rs,"CITY_NAME");
  $conname=odbc_result($rs,"CITY_ZIPCODE");
  echo "<tr><td>$compname</td>";
  echo "<td>$conname</td></tr>";
}
odbc_close($conn);
echo "</table>";
?>

</body>
</html>

phpinfo function returns

odbc

ODBC_INCLUDE 	-I/usr/include

When I load page access.php nothing happens. No error just message
"Waiting for localhost..."

I tried with isql and everything is working fine:

# isql LOIR

34 rows fetched

What am I doing wrong?
Is it even possible to connect from php to mdb?
Do I have to buy some drivers?
Is it possible to connect from netbeans to this odbc dns via jdbc-odbc
without some special additional drivers?

Thanks!
