RE: PHP calling RPG program

If you can call a stored procedure from your PHP you can talk with RPG. Just
front your RPG program with an SQL stored procedure and you are good to go.
I wrote a ClubTech Tip on this awhile back that you can search for in the
archives. Note that it was written with Java as the example language, but
any language that can consume a Store Procedure should work.

Going off of what Joel said though I think you should change what you are
having the different tiers doing. The more languages/technologies you have
in the mix the more complicated it is going to be to debug and maintain.

Subject: [WEB400] PHP calling RPG program

Can anyone offer any examples, good websites or books on how to call RPG
programs from within a PHP script running on the iSeries using PASE?

I am trying to call an RPG program with parameters from within PHP.  We have
a web site running .NET but need to access our images on the iSeries that
have been scanned and placed into the IFS.  The images have been scanned in
as a .TIF and we are running an RPG program to convert this images from a
.TIF to .PDF and display on web using PHP/RPG.

Thanks in advance.
