Just a shot in the dark here, but you'd probably want to move the 
Access database onto a web server from your local C drive.

Also, from my recollection, DSNs are only useful if you are connecting 
through the Windows OS, so you'd have to use the full Connection 
String, i.e. a DSN-less connection, to connect on the fly through PHP.

There shouldn't be any reason that I can see why they discontinued 
support for this in PHP 5.x...
