php 64位SQL状态IM002中的MS Access DB错误

Question

I'm trying to fetch data from access db in php. Code works fine for 32 bit php( I've tested in php version>5), but code generates error for 64bit php wamp.

Error Message: Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in

What I've tried : How can I correct this error: Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Code :

$connection = odbc_connect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=$db", "","");
$tabs = odbc_tables($connection);

Is there any solution or I've to install 32 bit version?

Answer 1

Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)

refers to the older Access "Jet" driver which is installed as part of Windows itself but is only available to 32-bit applications. (There is no 64-bit version of Jet.)

You could download and install the 64-bit version of the newer Access Database Engine (aka "ACE", available here ) and then use

Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)

as the driver name. (Assuming that the WAMP server does not already have a copy of Access 2007 or later installed on it.)
