Is it possible to call a remote php script from within Access? I'm thinking
something like:
DoCMD... http://www.domain.com/scripts/dataquery.php
DoCmd.OpenQuery "update_dat a", acNormal, acEdit
.....
So the PHP script does something on the server database, then when a linked
table is viewed within access, the data changes have been made?
The problem is, ODBC is too slow for certain things and if I can call a php
script and have it run the more intense data queries on the server, it'd be
a lot faster.
Is this possible? 14  9056 
You are sort of mixing apples and oranges (I think). I do ASP and JSP
which operate in web servers. I believe PHP is the same thing. I am
assuming your data server is either Oracle or Microsoft Sql Server. In
either case you can use ADO to invoke stored procedures on your data
Databases. That would be the fastest way to get a result set. It is
true that you can invoke stored procedures from a webpage, ASP, JSP,
PHP, but that would be a hands on ineraction. You are asking if you
could invoke the PHP command from Access, that would be like using send
keys to type something in your webpage (assuming the browser is up and
running). If you want to do this behind the scenes (most logical
choice), ADO is the way to do. This you can do straight from Access.
Just make a reference to MDAC2.6 in tools/References. But this would
not have anything to do with PHP. The only interaction between PHP and
Access I could think of would be to write data to Access from the PHP or
read data from Access to the PHP. If I am completely off base here,
hopefully someone will correct me.

I should be more clear. There's a web server running Apache/PHP/MySQL where
the web data resides. But on the desktop they have Access with a mirrored
set of data and also linked tables to the web server to keep the web site up
to date.
The problem is, it's so slow running large DELETE or INSERT queries via
MySQL's myodbc that I'd like to simply have access call to a php script/page
that would at least delete the necessary records and let access take care of
the rest. Cutting the process time in half.
So the call to the php script would simply be something like http://whatever.com/script.php?id=1
that could run in the background, not require opening a web browser, etc.
php would run through and delete all records where ID = 1. That would
happen almost instantly on the server. Then access could run it's update or
insert query and being to upload the records to the web server.
Does that make sense? In theory is sounds simple and I'd be surprised if it
couldn't be done in access. Since it's a MySQL database on the server, I
probably can't use ADO --- right?

Weird, it's using the same ODBC driver yet on takes 2 seconds via

The only strange thing is, if I leave it to default ODBC; and I select the
ODBC DSN when running the query, it works fine. When I use the ... build
connection method and try to store the connection info, I get an error back
about it not being to find the connection or table.
It's almost acting like there are too many characters in the field or
something.
Is there a trick to getting this to work? I'd like to have this process
automated and NOT have to select the ODBC DSN every time they run the query.

Here's what it creates in the ODBC Connect Str field:
ODBC;DSN=XXXX;D ESC=MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver
DSN;DATABASE=de velop;SERVER=11 1.111.111.118;U ID=develop;PASS WORD=pass223;PO R
T=3306;OPTION=3 ;STMT=;
Does that look right?
The error it returns is:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query
'ODBC;DSN=XXXX; DESC=MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver DSN;DATABASE=de velop;SE'. Make
sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
Hmmm.... it's like it's reading the connection string as the query?

To automate ODBC connections in Access you can use the TableDef object.
First Drop (delete) the ODBC table. Then
Dim tdf As TableDef
Set tdf = Currentdb.Table Defs("yourODBCt bl")
tdf.Connect = "ODBC;DSN=ODBCd snInControlPann el;UID=joe;PWD= shmo"
tdf.SourceTable Name = "NameOfSourceTb lLinkingTo"
CurrentDB.Table Defs.Append tdf

Hi,
I finally figured out the best way to synch local and remote script
folders, containing many php script files.
What I used to do before was try to ftp all the changed files, etc.
which was tedious and often broke. It was also very slow.
What I do now is to pkzip the folder up, ftp the pkzip’ed data to
remote, and then unzip it there, which recreates the directories and
files.
