Hi experts
Ok, this is linked to the project that i'm doing.
again, i have no experience in PHP, and i am of a networking background, so please keep it simple

1-The programming i've done in the past, usually linked to a database that was there on the computer Hard Disk. Right now on the other hand, i'm required to to access a database that is on the web.

How will i go about doing this. What will the code look like. Just say the database is a Microsoft access database.


2-I also have to get information from a secondary source, and its from a table thats on a PDF document. What has to be done is the PHP script will have to search the PDF document, find the required row, and take out the specific information from that row. There may be some information on the row that i may not need, for example, there might be a column that is in fact useless to me, that i won't want to display on the web application i'm developing. How will i go about doing something like this? What will the code look like.

I Hope this made sense. If it didn't, just ask me to elaborate, and shall elaborate on my questions.

Thanks for reading

cheers
