PHP and Access

I have an Access database on a Windows machine, and I am running PHP on a Unix box. I want to connect to the access database from php.
I set up a Data Source on the windows machine pointing to the database. But I can figure out how I connect to it. Is there a way to put the host name into PHP's odbc_connect so PHP knows what machine to look at?
Thanks
Jason

This is the standard connection string to Access databases

Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\mydatabase.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;

If you are using a DSN connection you can use the following:

Provider=MSDASQL; DSN=data_source_name; UID=username; PWD=password;
