The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I need to figure out how to "simply" get the db2_ extensions bound to

I've downloaded the PECL object, but am not sure what to do next.
I am looking at php.net, but I'm standing on the ground floor, and this
looks like penthouse type stuff to me.
The PECL stuff is source code. It needs to be built until it becomes useful.
Running software that was primarily developed for Linux and other OSS
software on Windows requires you to be an expert on BOTH systems, or
otherwise stick with prepackaged software that will never exactly
fullfill your needs.

There is a Windows PHP build with DB2 available from Zend, but that
would require altering your entire production environment. This would
allow you to use the db2_connect etc. calls. However, this seems an
unwise step.

Details on how to use DB2 on Windows - the alternative is to use ODBC,
which is probably a bit constrained from terms of performance and
functionality, but if all you need to is call a single storproc, then
this seems like an easy way out.
Quote:
On Windows, the PDO_ODBC driver uses the Windows ODBC Driver Manager
to connect to database systems. To access DB2 database systems with
PDO_ODBC on Windows, you must install the IBM(R) DB2(R) Driver for
ODBC and CLI.
