How to create a new .MDB file with php?

Question

In our in house system, we have csv & xls files generated for users (phpexcel) from our MySQL database, but my boss is asking if is\'s possible to create a mdb file.

Answer 1

To create a new empty Microsoft Access Database we can use ADOX.

The code below creates an empty Test.mdb file in c:\

    $adox_catalog       = new COM("ADOX.Catalog");

    $adox_catalog->create('Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:\Test.mdb');

    $adodb_conection = $adox_catalog->activeconnection();
