    What have you done?
    What webapp is being implemented? Does that webapp not have a native mysql interface? Probably over 90% of webapps do so ODBC isn't necessary.

    Do you want to write an app that will connect to a database via ODBC? PHP has support for that: https://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.uodbc.php

    I've never used this so you're on your own. I use PostgreSQL most often and MySQL when forced to do so (hello, wordpress).

    Is the MySQL database running on a Windows server? You might consider migrating it to Linux, then using the MySQL ODBC driver to connect from Windows apps. I use Access on Windows + PostgreSQL on Linux via the Postgres ODBC driver.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.
