Could you please provide a short worky reproduce case including a PHP snippet and an Access database file?

Thanks.

Sounds like this isn't a problem with the php.net web site.


PHP doesn't have its own driver for the MS-Access database. You are either using the odbc or pdo_odbc extension to use an MS-Access driver provided by Microsoft that you've already installed on your Windows box. Neither the odbc or pdo_odbc extension know about `linked tables` or other features specific to a database provider (MS-Access, etc...), they simply provide a consistent API to access different database providers and pass requests along. Its unlikely the problem is there, but with some info, we could tell.

As with any issue, you need to take some time to provide us a repro case: a sample of the PHP code and/or the MS Access file and/or information about which MS-Access driver you are using before we can take time to help.

To tell which MS-Access driver you are using, copy the DSN information from the 'Set up data sources (ODBC)' applet in the Windows Control Panel.

Create a ms-access file.
Then create a linked table ( you can create linked table of any source, I have used QODBC driver, but it does not matter).
then create a System DSN which points to ms-access file.

then i am using below code, i did debug and found its able to connect but when querying the linked table it fails, when I query a physical/local table "localtable" which is on the ms-access file, the code works.


$oConnect = odbc_connect("myAccessDSN", "", "");

#Set the SQL Statement
$sSQL = "SELECT TOP 50 ListID, FullName, CompanyName FROM Customer";
#$sSQL = "SELECT TOP 50 ListID, FullName, CompanyName FROM localtable";

#Perform the query
$oResult = odbc_exec($oConnect, $sSQL);

Hi,

we need a worky code and db file, not just a description.

Thanks.

Here is the requested information.

Please note, you will have to create ms-access dns manually.

Hi,

thanks for the update. And the holidays are passe :) I've tried your snippet, took one from before:

oConnect = odbc_connect("QB Access", "", "");
$sSQL = "SELECT TOP 50 ListID, FullName, CompanyName FROM Customer";
$oResult = odbc_exec($oConnect, $sSQL);

Unfortunately the issue is still blended by something else, namely here's the error message i see:

Warning: odbc_exec(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to 'QuickBooks Data QRemote' failed., SQL state S1000 in SQLExecDirect in C:\php-sdk\php56\vc11\x64\php-src\68578\other.php on line 10

I see from your screenshot that you have several other data sources which probably communicate with each other. But I see anyway that the .accdb file you've supplied is way too complicated. As with the current test data the actual issue isn't reproduceable, I would like to ask you to simplify the DB file. Please note - we don't need your whole db file(s), it would be much better you to create a completely synthetic case. Like  - one normal table, one linked table, some lines of the data. Btw. maybe that warning above already reveals you something why that error could be happening?

Thanks.

Ah, man ... i just see the linkedtable2.png and that warning is the exact issue. Ok. But you see that i don't have that data source at all, and i have the same warning. I guess the issue is in the .accdb file when it tries to connect to another data source.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the update.
As For the data source ( linked table to work ) you will have to install QuickBooks ( Preferred QuickBooks Enterprise - or my try trial edition of enterprise USA) and QODBC ( www.QODBC.com).  Just install QuickBooks + QODBC and your ms-access file should get connect and should get data from QuickBooks.


I have verified the ms-access file, if I open the linked table from ms-access I am able to connect to the source and it shows the table result in ms-access.

Also, I have verified the ms-access file using it via asp.net, when i connect to the ms-access file using the same DSN which i used for PHP, i am able to query linked table and able to get result on web page.

Hi @rajendradewani,

thanks for the further info.

I just wonder why I get the same warning if there's definitely no another ODBC data source, that's why I suspect the db file itself. Of course it might lay on PHP, especially after you say it works with pure Access or ASP. Or maybe the DB file is missing something, can't tell yet.

But for the reproducer - the way you suggest to do it is really not the way. I'll explain why

- we need a synthetic reproduces so we can create a phpt case from it
- the setup probably takes much longer than the fix itself

That's why we always ask for "short self enclosed snippets". For one - it really spares time for the fixing itself, and also - often the reporter finds completely other cause of the issue after working on such a snippet (or the opposite). Therefore I'd like to ask again for a short PHP snippet (well, we have it), two DB files, two DSNs, two tables (one local and one linked). Basically - as few dependencies as possible.

Thanks.
