Error in connecting MS-Access database to PHP Server DSN-less

Question

I am new to PHP as well as new to Ms-access database. I am trying to connect php server to ms access database dsnless as i have to give this to my friend. My both php file and ms database file are in same directory and they both are going to stay on localhost only. I am not able to understand the error.

I have 64 bit wamp version 2.4/Apache Version :2.4.4/PHP Version :5.4.16/ 64 bit windows 7 Also i have installed Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable from official site.

Here is my php code

<?php
echo (8 * PHP_INT_SIZE) . "-bit<br/>";
$user = "";
$password = "";
$mdbFilename= "C:\wamp\www\test\testdb.accdb";

$conn=$connection = odbc_connect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=$mdbFilename", $user, $password);              ////<----line 10

if (!$conn) {
  exit("Connection Failed: " . $conn);
}

$sql="SELECT * FROM testdb";
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
if (!$rs) {
  exit("Error in SQL");
}

while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))
{
    $json_output[] = odbc_result($rs, "test");
    print(json_encode($json_output));

}
odbc_close($conn);
?>  

Here is my error

Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Not a valid file name., SQL state S1000 in SQLConnect in C:\wamp\www\test\working.php on line 10

This is what I'm using to connect with a Ms-Access:

<?php
    $conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection");
    $dns = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=".realpath("./youraccessdb.mdb").";";
    $conn->open($dns);
    $rs = $conn->execute("SELECT * FROM table");
    $field =  $rs->Fields(0);

    while (!$rs->EOF) {
      print $f1->value . "\n";
      $rs->MoveNext();
    }
    $rs->Close();
    $conn->Close();
?>

Hope this help.
