I know this is not the correct forum, please point me in the right direction.
My problem. I have installed Zend Core for i5. The install went easily, without a hiccup. I can access the configuration pages. I have the book, âThe IBM I Programmers guide to PHPâ. On page 245, it says to run the following script:
<?php
Phpinfo()
?>
The resulting page should have âIBM_DB2â on it to confirm that the db2 extensions are installed.
This is what I get back :
@@Lo@âËâ %@@@@@âËâââââM]@^ %@@on %
On the Zend Core configuration page, I have this:
ibm_db2 - IBM DB2 Database Access <<Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)>> <<Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)>> <javascript:parent.document.location=%22index.php?frame=documentation&sub_frame=php&page=ref.ibm_db2.html> <<Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)>>
Name Value
ibm_db2.binmode
ibm_db2.i5_all_pconnect
ibm_db2.i5_allow_commit
ibm_db2.i5_dbcs_alloc
ibm_db2.instance_name
Iâm guessing that something here is wrong, but Iâm not sure what. If you can point me to the manual with the instructions that I should be using, Iâd appreciate it.
I also tried this script from the PHP: Zend for i5/OS redbook:
************Beginning of data**************
<HTML>
<?php
$conn = if_connect("localhost","OPERIT","ITOPER");
if (!$conn)
die("<BR>Connection using \"localhost\" failed. Error number = ".i5_errno()." msg=".if_errmsg())."<BR>";
else
echo "<BR>Connection OK <BR>\n";
print "Date is: ".if_get_system_value("QDATE");
i5_close($conn)
</html>
************End of Data********************
This is the resulting page:

I have got to have something severely messed up. I appreciate pointers to manuals.
