When doing a php script with a database, is it possible to have the database be stand alone or does it always have to be registered on the server?

Like when you do asp pages you can just upload an access database on the server and reference that database in your code without having to register the database on the server like
"DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};
DBQ=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\whatever.mdb"

Can you do that with php?

It's a pain to keep asking my admin to create new databases.
