How to use ODBC to connect with Paradox DB with PHP?

I'm currently working on a project: Write a Web Application that is able to make connection to pdx .db file.

This post gave me a little hint, but it was not complete. What I got from it is basically to use ODBC to work with Paradox databases.

But since resources about Paradox DB is very limited, I have not found any manual about how to connect to Paradox with Php & ODBC.

What I have tried:

<?php
   $database = "C:/Data/data.db";
   $conn = odbc_connect("DRIVER={Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db )};Database=".$database, '', '');
?>

But then it returned this message:

Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

If anyone knows how to fix the connection string, please kindly help.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
