To use Microsoft Access as a "Relational Database" on PHP applications you must use a ODBC Drive connection.

to perform query on Access or any DBMS using PHP without changin much code you can use ADOdb ( http://php.weblogs.com/ ) .. it looks like a 'port' of the ADO mechanism of microsoft, but on PHP language.

if you want to use Access for storing/reading/managing SPATIAL data , take a look at TerraLib Technology ( http://www.dpi.inpe.br/terralib/ ) ... terralib's model uses DMBS to store maps and puts geometry atributtes inside a blob field.
