PHP error ie;extension required for database type ‘ACCESS’
I need help with this error. up loaded a simple page into my Plesk account at GoDaddy.PHP COM extension required for database type ‘ACCESS’ is not installed on this server. Note that the Windows server is required for database type ‘ACCESS’ and as of PHP 5.3.15/5.4.5, the COM extension requires php_com_dotnet.dll to be enabled in php.ini.
I’m using ms access database for my project.
exactly what the message said:
PHP COM extension required for database type ‘ACCESS’ is not installed on this server.you need to have it installed on the server.If you use Microsoft Access, SQL Server or Oracle, PHPMaker requires the following database drivers (x86 versions) to connect to the database:Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 (for Microsoft Access)
Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 (SP8) (for Microsoft Access <= 2003)
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components (for Microsoft Access 2007)
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (for Microsoft Access 2010)
Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime (for Microsoft Access 2013)
Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime (for Microsoft Access 2016)
thanks for the previous response,
but that information isn’t helpful to me thus the reason for the question/request.I have a GoDaddy Plesk account in which all my .asp pages work fine. just bought php maker and created a php page
uploaded and go the error.both my .asp & .php are built using access db the .asp page[s] work but the .php gets the error ie posted above.
I need someone to help me solve the issue. ps GoDaddy support told me to google it. :(1) how and where do i obtain this php.ini file [ i assume its place in the domains rood directory]
2) COM extension requires php_com_dotnet.dll to be enabled in php.ini. [ where does this come from]
3] on the same server, if access db work with .asp page why not .php page?
You must use Windows server and your hosting provider must have installed the PHP COM extension:
