I am using following PHP code to connect to MS Access database:
$odb_conn = new COM('ADODB.Connection'); $connstr = 'DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ='. $db_path.';'; $odb_conn->open($connstr); How can I retrieve database catalog/metadata from the mdb file?
FOUND THE SOLUTION
$rs_meta = $odb_conn->OpenSchema(20, array(Null, Null, Null, 'TABLE'));
You will find information on ADO here :

The connection object has an OpenSchema method to get database schema information.
I don’t know how to use MS Acces DB with PHP and how your new COM() object works, but I think it’s better to use an OleDB connection instead an ADO object : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms722784(VS.85).aspx
