What are some alternative solutions for transferring data from MS MDB files to MySQL using PHP?

Transferring data from MS MDB files to MySQL using PHP can be achieved by reading the data from the MDB file and inserting it into the MySQL database. One way to do this is by using the PHP PDO extension to connect to both databases and perform the data transfer. 

// Connect to the MS Access database
$accessDb = new PDO("odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=path/to/access/file.mdb");

// Connect to the MySQL database
$mysqlDb = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database_name", "username", "password");

// Retrieve data from MS Access
$accessData = $accessDb->query("SELECT * FROM table_name");

// Insert data into MySQL
$mysqlStmt = $mysqlDb->prepare("INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2) VALUES (:value1, :value2)");

foreach ($accessData as $row) {
    $mysqlStmt->execute([
        'value1' => $row['column1'],
        'value2' => $row['column2']
    ]);
}
