dina Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Hi How can I link to my ofline access database from out of my php form fields: the reason is to collect client info on the net and then to insert it directly into my "OFFLINE" database. Is it posable at all because I don't want to retype everything. thank you. Quote
dina Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Hi I really need someone to give me some insight in this regard and I am running against time at this stage, please. thank you Quote
Andrea Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Not that I know anything about databases - but can you not just export - or copy and paste? Surely, you won't have to retype anything. Quote
Wickham Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 It's difficult to do anything offline without typing, or scanning with OCR optical character recognition. Most peolple would use MySQL online database with a PHP form, then export from the database into Excel or into Access to be used offline but I've only done it into Excel and so I'm don't know how to export to Access. Online you can transfer form fields into a database:- http://w ww.wickham43.net/formphptomysql.php Quote
LSW Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 How will you connect to a DB that is offline, hence not connected? Quote
