Re: [WEB400] Can PHP call iSeries programs remotely?

[Kelly Cookson <kc62301@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm. I didn't consider CGI. That might be kind of
interesting...wonder if I could put the url of a CGI
CL program in a PHP include statement? I'll have to
try that.

My dream is iPAD (iSeries or i5 + PHP + Apache + DB2).
iPAD would run in a Linux partition and use Qshell as
its command shell. Add an iPAD Toolbox to let PHP
scripts have easy access to database files and
programs running in an OS400 partition and an iPAD
Redbook. Oh well...I can always dream...

Thanks for the idea on CGI.
