PHP and MS Access 2007 for shared Linux hosting

Mostly I work for a table service company that has a menu database that we use every week in several places stored in a Microsoft Access 2007 .accdb file. I'm trying to develop a PHP application on shared hosting so that the .accdb file can be loaded and requested to create and store HTML menus for a week based on the database.

Million dollar question: how can I interact with this form of .accdb in PHP on shared hosting? I guess I just assumed that Zend or Pear would have a driver for me when I started, but I had trouble finding something, especially for shared hosting.

Thank!

Take a look at this question: connecting to a database in php with MS Access on Linux hosting

Most people (including me :)) recommend porting the Access database to MySQL (or Postgres) and running it as the current database on the website. If there are people / processes in your office who rely on Access, you can use Access as an interface by connecting it to the live database via ODBC .
