Aaron,

BINGO!!! What you suggest is the sort of thing that can be shown to the non-i crowd/CIO to help sway them from the "dark side" to the i which is a BIG uphill battle.

Does Zend have any public PHP "success stories" of PHP on the IBMi? I know
lots on this forum have had success, but they were already on the IBMi. I
am looking for a story where somebody actually made the move and provided
reasons for WHY they chose the more expensive IBMi over other servers.

It would be great to see IBMSystemsMag.com do such a story!

In my experience, All the PHP developers I have met that have been asked
to work on and IBMi have little trouble moving to the IBMi. Many
actually enjoy it :-) There is a sect in the PHP community longing to
support PHP in an enterprise environment.

I think the IBMi is easier to learn and understand than the dark art of
Linux. IMHO...

And yes, the i5-toolkit in Zend Core is pretty easy to use, but not
necessary for straight SQL calls to the DB.

Mike
