Re: Can PHP call iSeries programs remotely?

Indirectly, yes.  If you can make a URI request to a web
server running on your AS/400, then you can call a CL
program when a certain request is made.

It could also be done indirectly through FTP...

Example:
Your PHP program makes a URI request to
http://yourAS400.com/cgi-bin/cgipgm

cgipgm in turn calls the CL, then returns the appropriate
HTTP headers and response.

With FTP, you can use RMTCMD.  

Of course, I don't know if these are easily done with
PHP...  but it is possible.  :)
