What are some common pitfalls when trying to establish a connection to an Access database using PHP on a Mac?

One common pitfall when trying to establish a connection to an Access database using PHP on a Mac is not having the necessary ODBC driver installed. To solve this issue, you need to install the appropriate ODBC driver for Access on your Mac. 

// Connect to Access database using ODBC on Mac
$dsn = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=/path/to/your/access/database.accdb";
$user = "";
$password = "";

$conn = odbc_connect($dsn, $user, $password);

if (!$conn) {
    die("Error connecting to Access database: " . odbc_errormsg());
} else {
    echo "Connected to Access database successfully!";
}

// Perform database operations here

// Close connection
odbc_close($conn);
