[Barrucadu]

is it possible to use windows on linux ? :p

i guess not, but i could be wrong

 

[adam_uk]

it is possible yes

but to be honest, it would be more benificial in the long term for your website/project if you used mysql

 

[Barrucadu]

i would use MySQL if it worked on my computer, I dont know why but one day it was working, next day it stopped working, even reinstalling it dosnt fix it. so could you give me a link to a tutorial on how to use MDB files with PHP?

Best way to help may be to look for other options, what type of data are you storing?
can you use the dba library instead? what version of php are you using? if 5.X how about sqlite?

Also it would help to know what OS you are running on.
