I'm trying to use Microsoft Access as the db for a demo project that I'm thinking of doing in Code Igniter. Ignoring the possible folly of using MS Access, I haven't been able to figure out precisely how the connection string corresponds to the framework's db settings. In straight php, I can use this code to connect to an access db:
Code:
$db_connection = odbc_connect(
"DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=\\path\\to\\db.mdb",
"ADODB.Connection", "", "SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC"
);
How do those strings correspond to the Code Igniter db settings? This doesn't seem to be quite working (though it's not exactly throwing an error, either):
Code:
$db['access']['hostname'] = "{Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}";
$db['access']['username'] = "ADODB.Connection";
$db['access']['password'] = "";
$db['access']['database'] = "\\path\\to\\db.mdb";
$db['access']['dbdriver'] = "odbc";
$db['access']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['access']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['access']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['access']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['access']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['access']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['access']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";
Oh, BTW, I'm running a xampp install of apache under xp if that matters.
