VB and MySQL
-
I was wondering if it possible to get VB to connect to a MySQL database or not, I've tried a few tutorials and I can't get it to work. I Don't want VB.NET to do it as I'm running this script on server that only serves PHP

Do you mean VB6 or VBscript ? Neither has anything to do with PHP.

You can use VB6 as well as VB.NET to connect to MySQL. You will be needing ODBC data source for MySQL for that. This can be downloaded from MySQL site.

thanx guys I have since done anoth way using PHP. To answer the question why PHP the place I am building this for don't have Windows Server Licenses so they are using Linux but people can use Windows laptops to connect to the internet and other stuff like that
