    Unhappy Q about making a db without dos prompt, please read !

    Sounds weird, lemme explain. (I am a new newbie in this )
    I was using a free host (f2s.com) to make my database. Now someone i know has given me some free space on his webhost and i can upload my files there. He has everything installed, php, mysql etc.

    The problem is, i only have a ftp account. I don't know how to load up my database.
    The php works, i tested it, i have a access (*.mdb) database, i have uploaded it and tried accessing it and then i get an error saying "Data Access Pages has detected that your IE security settings will not allow you to access data from a site considered to be insecure. ".


    Now my question is... how do i create a database having only an ftp account, i tried asking the owner for some help but he doesn't understand this neither. Can i just upload the mdb file in there and then use some basic php code to access it ?

    I greatly appreciate any help !!

    you can either use a program called phpMyAdmin from www.phpwizard.net , which is a gui for Mysql. Or you have to do something like this

    you just might have to make the tabel in Mysql and put in all the information from teh access table if none of the above works.
