8/9/2006 11:32:25 AM    Access to sql on windows for mysql application
Hi 
 
I hope someone here can advise or at least point me to a good site to 
 
pursue this. 
 
Have installed a password protection system (freeware) successfully on 
 
a unix/php/mysql server and looking forward to developing it into a 
 
full blown database application. I is written in php and use a mysql 
 
database to hold user id's and passwords. There is a small amount of 
 
code on each protected page on the site that checks the session. 
 
I now need to set it up on a windows server system which uses IIS and 
 
sql, mysql is not an option. It appears that ODBC could be the answer 
 
but I don't want to fight my way through the mire of finding and fixes 
 
issues one by one only to get trapped near the end and find it was not 
 
possible all along. 
 
Does anyone have any experience of the and am I on the right track. 
 
Ideally the code will work with minimal change once set up. Would that 
 
be possible and what would I have to set up on the server? 
 
Thanks John
